The FastDay Forum

Since I started 5:2 21 months ago I have had a piece of paper in the book where I write down my calories on a fasting day with calorie values of foods I commonly use on fasting days. As you can imagine it has become pretty tatty and as the entries are random I spend quite a lot of time looking for things that I know are there. Today I have typed them all out and put them in categories and vague alphabetic order. These are mostly values that I have looked up in a little calorie book I have or on the internet. There can be quite a lot of variation in values given so these are a rough guide but using them I have managed to slowly lose weight. I am sharing the list in case it is of use to anyone
