I stuck with it again today. In fact, a small part of me enjoys thinking about what I can have with my calorie allowance for the day. Using the My Fitness Pal app makes it really easy.
Breakfast was 2 apples again – 90 calories.
3 cups of tea with semi-skimmed milk throughout the day – 69 calories
Lunch was courtesy of Pure again. A chicken noodle soup was 200 calories. It tasted good too.
I then had a Hockingly good salad.
There were a few too many croutons but this is a great salad.
Worth every one of the 391 calories.
Supper was 578 calories of complete, total and utter loveliness. 1 very large mango (333 g) in a perfect state of sweet juiciness, 2 frozen bananas and 25 g peanut butter. It had the consistency of a thick custard but the lovely sweet flavour of mango. Awesome.
It’s quite easy, this calorie counting 🙂

About Lose Weight and Gain Health
Hi! My name is Zoe and I live in Hastings, East Sussex, with my son Harvey and dog, Milton. I have been fighting the fat for years but this time I am serious. I want to lose weight and gain health.
This blog is about how I am changing my lifestyle so I can lose weight but not by just "being on a diet" but by making small changes to our lives so that as I lose weight, I gain health. I want my family to be healthy too and never have to struggle with their weight like I have. In common with many large people, I have gained and lost weight many times over the years. This time, I want to lose it and maintain a healthy low weight.
I am interested in eating food that is nutrient dense and delicious and that appeals to children and adults. I do not eat animal products so follow a vegan diet. I try to use locally produced food supplemented with what I can grow myself. I support and try to use local farmers markets and farm shops. Another objective is to add more exercise to our days. It sounds so simple when I write it down :-)

Good job! I am surprised MFP only gave you 1200 Calories, considering that is basically what I stick to a day. Make sure you don’t eat too few calories and put your body into a fight or flight survival mode, making it harder to burn calories.
Gosh, you don’t eat much then Laura! And you do loads of exercise. I was surprised to but I put in my weight and required loss of 2 pounds a week and that is what it calculated so i will try and stick with it and see how I get on
I eat enough for me, that is for sure. Especially as the body ages and requires less food before I am really full. 1200-1400 maintains my weight and has for over a year now between 117-120 lbs.
You are so slim! Well done to you for maintaining such a healthy weight. One day ….
