CALORIES

[GemGemz87]

how many calories does a banana have?
& is dried fruit ok to snack on ??

 

[Aline]

Small bananas can have only 70 calories and the bigger ones reach 150 cals; so it really depends the banana's size.

I snack on dried fruit sometimes. It's more colarie dense than fresh fruit, but if you track the calories eaten you'll be fine

A medium banana has nearly 30g carb... So a big no no for me..... X

Hi Gem, Thought I would just recommend a little book that I have found invaluable for keeping track of allsorts - Carbs, Fibre, Calories, Protein and Fat. It's The Collins Crab Counter and it's pocket size, costs literally only a few pence and you can buy it online. It's the best thing I have bought for helping me with my CC and carbs . Even gives some menus for different diet regimes and takeaways.

Hope that will be of some use to you.

Hi Gem

Don't worry much about the weight for now, maybe your body is still adjusting to new eating habits

If you don't enjoy counting calories, maybe you could try to pay attention to portion sizes

Eat lots of fruits and veggies (those never made me gain) and be sensible with the other foods. Also, limit the fat you add to foods and and the time goes on the weight will go away, just trust the process

[Aline]

I'm doing fine, Thank you Gem

I'm mostly maintaining. I wouldn't mind to lose 3 or 4 pounds, but my real goal is actually not gain
