The FastDay Forum

I am fasting today and I was smugly and unusually organised yesterday when I preparing a lovely calorie counted salad for my lunch today. So you can imagine my disappointment to realise that I had left it at home.

I have just been to the local Express Supermarkets near where I work and none of the lunches/salads were low enough cals to suit my fast - in fact most of them were alarmingly high in cals for so called healthy choices so I am quite proud of myself for not caving in and just buying something unsuitable. I bought a 205g tin of Heinz Spagetti hoops for 109cals and, whilst these were not something I would have previously considered having for lunch, they are filling the gap nicely

Good Luck fellow fasters!

Yes the calories in "healthy" choices can be a surprise. Well done indeed for your restraint.

PS, love your signature quote

Oh well done Anne. We're all proud of you.

Hi Ann your lunch sounds yyuukkk But well done on holding back on the unhealthy/health snack Bet you won't forget it again Sue

Hee Hee... you are quite right, it was yyuukk!
And I think your are doubly right, I have learned a lesson and won't forget my lunch again in a hurry (hopefully! )

Good job!
