House work

Ah the house work has turned back twinge into a back ache. Hash tag not so smug. Cooked a meal last night that I often make and from counting calories I realise I would usually have consumed 800 but by cutting down on pasta portion and pesto got it down to 560. Of course could have eaten more but was satisfied for the evening. Good lesson.

Oh dear, Fresh, that's not so good! I hope it sorts itself out quickly!

Have you thought about using courgetti, or boodles, instead of pasta? You can have a big plateful, for a fraction of the calories :)

You could also make your own pesto and keep the calories down that way :)

Thanks moreless, I enjoy a courgette so shall give that a try. Home made pesto sounds delish but bit too fiddly for me but I shall look for a lower calorie option in the super market....If there is such a thing! Thanks for tips. Justine
