    Counting cals for veg?

    With the milk in tea thing I measure out how much milk/calories I want to allow for the day in a jug just for tea and once its gone that's it. You soon get used to knowing how far your allowance can stretch :)

    Shopping tips

    Mine costs more too, its difficult! I agree that lidl fruit and veg etc is generally much cheaper. I go there 1st and get as much stuff of my list as I can, then go to Tesco for the rest. Planning def helps x

    Healthy Alternatives!!

    I don't worry too much. I find that now I use quorn etc, even if I use 200 odd cals on pasta, I never go over 450 for dinner ish for dinner. If I didn't eat the carnal I would very likely be hungry later on! You soon get used to having less pasta too. x

    will an extra 100 cals a day make a difference?

    Hey, I've managed to lose 10lbs on 1100 calories a day. I have to admit I found it a lot easier than I thought and was on the zone etc, but I've had things going on at the mo and am finding it hard now. Do you think upping to 1200 a day will make me sts or gain?
