Calorie Counting!

[Alimo]

Hello! I'm currently doing Couch to 5K and trying to be honest with my food diary on My Fitness Pal in an effort to see what I am eating and how to make changes and lose weight. (Ditching the wine would be good but hard to let go!) Does anyone know of a good website where you can find the calorie content of a good range of food so I know what I am logging in is right? x

MFP has that. Not perfect but decent.

Thank you. I am looking for ticked foods that I think are verified? Today I was looking for oven roasted courgette and red pepper. I think I found items that were close enough!

I use MyFitnessPal 🙃

Welcome to the forum.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Enjoy your journey.

But ditching the wine would make all the difference. Hard but sadly true. ☹️ 🍷 .

Trying to only a have a glass or three at weekends only. Seems to be helping and also curbing the appetite.

Mind you, trying to consume 3l of water a day, I don’t have room for wine! 😄.

That is my aim, to stick to the weekends! It doesn't seem to have worked so far though. I don't drink enough water - that will be my plan, today... up my intake!
