CRISPS & SNACKS

We were chatting with a friend who has a very physical job. He said he couldn't understand why he was putting on weight when he only ate one meal a day. On closer examination, it emerged he could easily eat FOUR BAGS OF CRISPS - one after the other, as a snack.
With such a physical job, he was probably looking for the salt. A half decent bacon sandwich would probably work out to be lower in calories and be a lot more satisfying. Or perhaps he could have eaten a hearty breakfast? This simple HAM & EGGS is around 500 calories - less than three bags of crisps.
When we explained this to him he couldn't quite believe it. It's easy to ignore or simply not register what you are eating between meals. The snack habit can be difficult to break - but when you snack because of hunger, then eating more at proper meal times can help break that habit.
Once we started eating enough at meal times, we soon put hunger at bay.

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.
