The problem for me is that I need to be aiming for about 500 calories per meal.
If I have fried eggs on toast (with cheese) for breakfast and then a pasta meal for lunch, I've eaten about 1100 to 1200 calories.
Adding a dinner of about 600 to 800 calories and I'm already at 2000. That's the number that I want to stay below, aiming for 1800 (I think I said)
So I believe I need to choose between fired eggs or a pasta meal - not both.
If I have wholemeal oats for breakfast I'm eating 300 calories, plus a pasta meal I'd be at 760 calories. Already that is looking much better.
If I add in my snacks of fruit and popcorn I could be at 1000 - 1200 Calories by dinner and eating somewhere between 1600 to 2000 a day.
Now that's my aim.
Let me spell this out (for my benefit) - Average Eating Day
Breakfast = Wholemeal Oats (300 - 400 Calories)
Lunch = Pre-made meal (up to 600 Calories)
Snacks = Average about 200 Calories of snacks a day
Dinner = whatever we are cooking (I allow up to 800 calories - some days will be much less)
So if I eat the max amount of Calories above I will eat 2000 Calories.At 2000 I am still loosing weight (so long as their good calories which I will get into later)
