peacelily said:Looks like you have no superfree at all in your meals and you should aim to fill 1/3 of your plate at every meal (including breakfast) with superfree food. Not sure about breakfast as there seems to be a word missing. Peas are free on EE and green but not superfree.. The obvious thing would be to cut down to 2 poached eggs max with your 2 slices of whole meal (from a 400g loaf- any bigger and you have to syn the extra). You also have grapes on there which, again, are not superfree. Although you can have them they shouldn't be first choice of snack. 500g of yoghurt, again, is free but some people have to be careful of the amount and 500g is quite a lot. So, in summary although you are allowed all of the things on plan, you should probably be substituting some of your free food for superfree as it is easier to overeat the free food and not lose. Whilst it is free, as you rightly point out, it is denser in calories than superfree so you should include more superfree. This will fill you and automatically cut down on the calorie content.

peacelily said:Don't worry it can take a bit of time to get your head round it. Even if you just sit down and read your book again cover to cover you'll get the hang of it. And post any questions here cos folk are happy to reply. It is tricky but once you know what you're doing it'll become second nature. The trick is to get into the habit of thinking 1/3 superfree so at least have a look at that part of your book to see what you can have. Good luck and don't wait till Thursday give your counsellor a ring they should be happy to help by phone or text you if you need it
