| my only tip would be avoid carbs in the evening - follow the rule: breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, dine like a pauper... eat your main cal intake across breakfast and lunch, so your body has plenty of time to burn off the energy, then stick with veggies/protein at tea time.
I find that helps me to keep going during the day, cut down on snacking, and I don't feel tired and sluggish in the evening so I have energy to exercise. That'd be my tip.
My BMR is around 1500 cals so I'm aiming not to go over that and seeing what happens. Interestingly enough I'm logging everything I eat using the WW points system and I haven;'t gone over my points once since starting cal counting! Think its just cos its easier to work out what I'm eating at the time on CC, no need to calculate points, so I'm making better decisions. When I use points I often eat something then calculate the points, and it turns out much higher than I expected so pushes me over my points allowance (mainly due to the sat fat content methinks), but on CC I always know roughly how many cals is in that food so if its high I dont even think about eating it!!!!
Makes sense to me anyway! Now we just need to see if it works! x
