Thread: Steph's attempts at calorie counting

I've been calorie counting for about 5 days now, I was on slimming world up until then but I've gone gluten free and am struggling to fit that in with SW. I haven't been massively hungry and have definitely NOT been eating the best foods but I'm sticking with 1250 and will be eating my usual healthy stuff once I've got my head around gluten free.

You'll have a great loss. I did when I switched from Sw to cc. I'm back to Sw again now cosni found I was eating rubbish on cc lol

Tues 29/01/2013

B
Snack a jacks - 128

L
Home made leek and potato soup -150

D
Quorn chicken curry w/ 50g long grain rice. Only had 1/2 the rice so added a bit of milk and sugar after - 385

Snacks
Cream egg :0 feels veery naughty to eat this even though its in cals - 175
2 sips of dr pepper-46
Cranberry juice - 130

I put in my stroll to Uni on mfpI'm very wary of going under 1200 that's the only reason.

948 cals- no idea how I'm supposed to fit any more food in, 252 under :| may have a hot choc and banana later.

Sounds like a great day , well done

Thanks bit low on cals so far but I'm sure I'll squeeze some more in..Will have a banana with my curry if I go with that mm!

Realised my goal is 1250 a day so 300 under..having a 9 bar - 222 and a cup of tea -10 for milk and 15 for sugar AND an apricot. I should definitely be there with that! Feel like I've eaten so much today that's taken me to 1226, done! That said 2500 before?? Definitely not my goal haha!

I am starving today, have eaten loads so no idea why * week so probably why. I have 300 cals left so will think carefully what I can have to fill me most!

Hello Steph

I sometimes find it difficult to make up the calories in a day and wonder how on earth I ever managed to go over them to begin with?! I have a limit of 1,400 but usually aim for around the same as yourself.

I had a few days this week of feeling really hungry and am also blaming it on my * week. Just been trying to fill up on water and fruit!!

Good luck with your weight loss journey

Hi and Thanks for popping in I'm the same, really happy with my amount except today. its insane the amount you can fit into 1250 cals! I just hope I can get good results as I really do enjoy calorie counting. I'm drinking as much water as possible to beat the bloat and fill me up too, this is always the worst week of a diet. Do you find you have good losses with that amount? Some people say its too low x
