My goal is one kilogram a week, sometimes that seems so hard that i wonder if I am doing something wrong. I am right on board for portion control so I know my quantities are ok, I was just wondering if the calorie count was too high.

I started out by working out what the calorie count per cup of soup I make was, then we baked some cookies from taste.com.au and they turned out to be 205 calories each. Then my favourite snack, a sao cracker with ham and a cheese slice came out at 165 calories.

Then on my search for a calorie worker outer I stumbled across this site called calorieking.com.au, so I joined up. I can now track what food I eat, the calories I burn exercising and how much water I drink. As I am walking twice today I wont use all my calories, if I eat everything I put in I will have consumed 1568 calories today and burnt 609 calories on 2 50 minute walks. I feel as though there is a lot of food on my list but i was pretty careful working out the calorie counts.. this is what I have down for today, I am really splashing out and having a glass of milo with my cracker snack.. and 3 snacks for the day!! if this works this week I will stick with it, it seems like too much food, I will drop a snack tomorrow as I will only be walking once.
