I was here earlier moaning about the scary TDEE that is now on my tracker. I was suddenly afraid that I might starve!!

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4646

However, after I had stopped hyperventilating, I worked out tonight's dinner of fish and salad on MFP. It comes to 224 calories. Phew!! My recommended fasting TDEE is 367 so I can easily have my jelly and hot chocolate at 50 calories this evening. I hadn't been counting calories so didn't realise that I had been eating this low anyway. Don't you just love it when that happens? Feel such a scaredy cat moaner now. Will pay more attention in future. Sorry :bugeyes:

PS you can get a surprising amount of lettuce for your calories :smile:
Glad you are happy!

I had on Tuesday (fast day) 120g salmon, 125g puy lentils with porcini & thyme, 100g each lettuce and sugars snap peas, plus during the day a mug of bovril and a sugar in one of my coffees, and it came to 433 cals. That was a big plate of food and very satisfying!
It's amazing how much food you can eat for 300-500 cals when you are eating real food i.e. not the processed kind.
