sounds good to me altho i'd question the bertolli light, how much fat is it? i have flora extra light which is 1.9g per 10g which is enough for 2 slices of bread

Hi Sparkles

Good point Bertolli Light is 3.8 so will defo switch to Flora Extra Light, only had a scrapping today on my bagel

So far so good, thanks for your help

you'll pick things up pretty quick, just invest a little extra time in your next shopping trip, really look at the packets for info. also look out for the healthier ranges in store i.e sainsburys be good to yourself

i think theres a thread on here from a few months ago where people talked about typical meals if you need some ideas

Hi Sparkles

Thanks for the advice, another quick question please

So far Im only managing 20-25 grams of fat a day and approx 1400 calories so they are fine.

Did I need to increase my fat intake,if so how do I do that, so far so good and no side effects

Thanks

most people would say yes to increase the fat intake so you're into the 25-30g as the blueys automatically reject 1/3 of what u do consume, but for the first 3-4 months i was only having about 18g a day and my doctor said she didnt see it as a problem. i increased mine by doing things like having a bit more milk with cereal or having a cadburys highlights hot choc with my breakfast, you would also add a few nuts but watch out - nuts can be high in fat and so it will only take a couple to boost it! good luck
