Calories

[what???]

Heya - I'm trying to go on a calorie controlled diet and I'm wondering how many calories you think there are in a medium-big portion of shepherd's pie with a medium sized knob of butter and about 15 small brussel sprouts. I've only had a portion of ready brek, a banana and an apple apart from that today so just wondering what this all adds up to. xxx

Has it gone cold by now?? Leave out the butter. Eat all the sprouts. Drink plenty of water with it. Pie should be fine. Sounds lovely, mouth watering as we speak. No sugar on your Ready Brek tomorrow. Common sense.

Would you not rather enjoy your food than be obsessed with it?

A medium size portion is around 300 cals what??? Join Slimming World...no counting cals and lotsa food:-))

Give up the calorie controlling and def give up the butter!

Bananas are full of calories.

I lost a over 2 stone by not mixing carbs a proteins in the same meal but did eat them in the same day, didn't give up my sugar in tea or coffee either. Try it!!
