Jennyjackets foodage intake!

[Jennyjacket]

Hi guys. Nice reading all y'alls stories. Im a pretty typical case im afraid. Always been overweight, comfort eater, etc etc etc but im shocked at how big im getting so this is where it halts! Not new to calorie counting-lost 2 stone doing it 2 years ago. Since then have piled on 4. Tried slimming world (moderate success) and a vlcd between now n then but they just arnt for me so giving CC a go again.

Plan is to eat about 1800 cals until weigh loss slows down then reduce by 200 cals etc
However since i started on thurs that hasnt been going to plan. Been really busy so not been eating enuf. Thurs i only had 1000 cals, friday 900 cals and today 1000 again (even ate some sweets this evening to get them up a bit cus they were sitting at 600.) il try to be better tomorrow.X

 

[Jennyjacket]

Oh dear-another day didnt quite go to plan. Not eating enough (tho cud be worse-cud b eating too much). Just dont want my body to go into starvation mode! Its just a mix between being so busy (working/moving house) and iv just been put on some new tabs that are making me bit nauseous!

Today iv had

Chicken 200cals
Veg-about 100cals
Gravy-50cals
About 15 liquorise (not right spelling!) sweets- 338cals according to MFP

For a total of about 688. I want to be eating around 1700. Not really hungry at the min but il have some fruit later n maybe a sandwich or something to boost up the cals.x

Try eating some nuts. High in calories without eating too any of them. Plus they are really good for you.

Chicken 200cals

Impressed you can manage on so little food. You must be starving.
My limit is 1700, but only eaten average of 1300 last five dayd but my actual food intake is at least three times what you've eaten.

Yeah your ways a better way to do it. Im eating too much crap tho for some reason im not that hungry! Maybe its because im doing like no exercise. When i start to do a bit more ill up my intake of (healthier) food.

Its not too bad.

At least you can manage to eat only a little junk.
A Chinese full me would be at least 1500 cals as I'd have egg fried rice and prawn crackers with it.

It just occured to me that iv felt really crappy n sluggish all day and its prob because of my takeaway last night. Ate far more than i needed to. Felt really stuffed at the halfway mark but kept going. Wont make that mistake again hopefully.

Thats my problem with takeaways now. The portions are much bigger than I'm now used to, and despite being full the binge monster in me makes me eat to much.
Prefer going out to eat now as the portions are normally smaller.
