    Extraaaaaa easy :-)

    i think its one slice from a 800g loaf, or two slices from a 400g loaf or a 57g wholemeal bun :) there are other things you can use as your B choice though like cereal, cereal bars, dried fruit, olive oil etc. xx

    Red days better than green for weightloss

    it definitely differs person to person, i lose better if i do a right mix of all three! i find if i try and do a week of reds i really struggle for lunches and miss my carbs and that does occasionally lead to being naughty and eating silly things!! do whatever works best for you :) xx

    Freezing cheese?

    this might be a silly question, but here goes... :o if you froze something grated like cheddar could you just put it on something (toast, jacket potato etc) and put it under the grill straight away? or would it need defrosting? xx
