2000 CALORIES ON A PLATE

This is what 2000 calories looks like (excluding the bread). We bought this large bag of chip shop chips from  a new chip shop and found it weighed 800g. We couldn't believe it. Not all chip shops dish up such a generous portion, so next time you're buying some why not weigh them and see for yourself.
Our philosophy is to eat the food you love - and we've certainly done that - while losing weight.
If you ate all these chips, you would be eating the equivalent of ONE whole day's calorie allowance for the average woman.

Just being aware of what you are eating can help you make better choices. The calories in a bag of chip shop chips may have surprised you, but knowledge is the key to achieving a great weight loss. You choose what you want to eat - and work that into your daily allowance. We feel it's better to have a little of what you fancy, because depriving yourself may lead to cravings and ultimately eating out of control.
By the way, we didn't eat all of these. We had around 200g each, that's about 500 calories. When we have time, we usually make our own OVEN CHIPS. Now they are really tasty and far removed from the frozen oven chips you can buy too.

REMEMBER: We all have a calorie allowance - do you know yours?

We began our weight loss journey in January 2011 - and began our blog in June 2011. Here's a link to the first post. (here's the link).

We like to post our main meals to show you what CAN be eaten. You won’t find us posting every last morsel though – but we hope this gives you an idea of how far calories can go! I'm currently going through the photographs and replacing them with more website friendly versions which will allow the blog to load quickly.
