Check the nutrition information . Sometimes you cant, but if say you get used to checking everything, you then tend to have a rough idea. eg, if you check whats in white bread, whats in mayo, whats in tuna etc...u will end up with a rough idea of how many calories may be in something thats not labelled like a Tuna Crunch sandwhich from Greggs .


What i really dont understand is, how some low calorie things can have similar amounts of fat to some high calorie things.
But I'm guessing its to do with carbs also. So then which ones should we be more careful of?
Eg- Boots Shapers Onion Rings (crisps) -3.3g fat, 65 cals
Boots Shapers Houmous and Chargrilled Vegetable sandwhich -4.6g fat, 265(or thereabouts) cals

Ok so the sandwhich has bread= carbs= higher cal. And onion rings are just maize (i think). BUT the crisps are so much less(g) than a sandwhich. Its like eating not much, but similar fat content to a sandwhich.
This confuses me. Greatly.

Oh and i cant remember what the Reccomended Daily Allowance for calories is (its different for men and women but its roughly 2000), but i but i think you can find it written on the side of Kellogs ceral boxes

ah...islamica is almost back to normal....now where is sixpak?

how to loose weight and be healthier?

2-3 times a week workout for 30 min - 1 hour.

Instead of snacks eat fruits between the meals.

Drop all the sweets.

Drop all the suggery drinks, coke and that unhealthy stuff and drink tea. If you feel the lack of concentration, than just one glas of milk with one table spoon honey will doo wonders (it also helps the diggetion). Take it in the middle of the day.

Eat 3 times a day, don't miss breakfast. Eat what ever you like, rise, vegetables, meat, salads, tuna. Just consume bread and meat in normal proportions, meaning, bread for breakfast, meat only with the lunch (awoid it for the supper).


After some time you will realize you don't have the hunger attacks and that you are shrinking.
