Calories or fat ????

sloe gin sounds good haha!! We dont have a big garden but we have 2 patches at the top where we have put things before, Only thing is cats tend to dig it up even if we put netting on they still seem to find away! Definitely going to have ago at something this year though, especially strawberries!!

Another question, does it really matter if you have snacks in between meals once you dont go over your daily fat and that you dont break the 5g per 100g rule!! I have been having snacks just wondering what everyone else was doing?

I was told we were suppose to have snacks..Apparently eating every two hours is a great way to loose weight. Something about your metabalism working faster or keepin it going or something...I have fruit..although today I had a special K cereal bar..yumm.

 

[Rachgleeson]

Yeah thats what i was thinking myself Binny!! Its night time i normally snack more, so i generally save a few for then!!

 

[booboocraig]

I was told you can snack as long as it doesn't contain fat. ....that foods that contain fat should be eaten when ur tablets are taken.....don't know how true it is

 

[Rachgleeson]

never heard that booboo but you could be right!! At the moment i'm not too bothered but i think if my weight loss really slowed or came to a stand still i would definitely only have fat free snacks!!

As long as your not going over your daily fat intake i would say its ok to snack..But like craig says try to make it as low fat as poss. as if your not having you pill with the snack it cant block the fat for you. does that make sense.? im worst in the evening as well i try to eat later so i dont snack or have a low fat hot choc that fills me up. lol

 

[binnybee3]

Yeah I get it. That's what I was trying to do anyway..Haven't really felt hungry today though.. Hardly eaten anything..

I have never gone over my daily fat intake, i am always a good but under it, normally around the 20 to 25g of fat!! It does make sense, but once its pretty low fat i am going to stick to me snacks it would either be that or pigging out altogether lol!!

The last few days have been hungry days for me, dont know whats going on as i have definitely been eating enough!! :sigh:

 

[binnybee3]

Oh dear...It'll sort out soon..

 

[booboocraig]

If i feel munchy I have really taken to fruit in-between tablets....but make sure I drink lots of water then my tummy is always full lol....

 

[Rachgleeson]

I have taken to drinking loads of water too, but i have to put cordial into it, as not overly keen on water alone, unless its from a bottle which i refuse to buy as they are too expensive!! Feel much better drinking the water and not the usual fizzy drinks!!

 

[binnybee3]

I love water..

 

[Rachgleeson]

I wish i did, well like i say bottled water is ok but not from the tap!! Even though i am having cordial in it i ams still getting what i need Our water here is pretty limey, aarrgghh!!!

 

[booboocraig]

I bought a water filter cos our water tastes of metal....i like putting slices of lemons and limes in just to change flavour.......have a great weekend all x

 

[Rachgleeson]

Thats a good idea, might get some lemon and limes in, thanks booboo. Hope you have a great weekend!!

 

[booboocraig]

My friend is having a party tonight so I am making sure i'm full before I go and i'm driving so can't be tempted to drink........Although she is making sure salad and cooked meat is available for me......

Will be thankful when tomorrow comes as I get a day off exercising lol...... xx

 

[Rachgleeson]

Enjoy the party, and try and stick to the salad if you can, if not tomorrow is another day!! Make sure you keep some water beside you so if you get hungry you can drink that

 

[booboocraig]

I am going to be good water and salad for me ....I just keep thinking of me as a fat blob then I don't eat fatty stuff ha ha xxx

 

[Rachgleeson]

Aw dont say that though, just think of yourself as slim instead
