chocolate and swaying pink

[Dreamofpink]

As long as you're fitting in the overall limits of the diet, Choc Philly (cream cheese) is fine!!

Yup, am making sure of that

Dreamofpink - tell me, what do you eat on an evening, if you have choc philli at lunchtime?
I'd so like to be able to fit in some choc phili on bread. My mouth is watering at the thought!
Thanks

Ummm, if I have choc philli on a weight watchers petit pain at lunchtime (yum!) then I have been known to have a portion of oven-baked chips in between two slices of danish bread (no butter) with some reduced salt tomato sauce! Otherwise, I'll have low-fat jalapeno hummus on a petit pain at lunchtime and choc philli on toast for my evening snack. I usually eat 500 cals per meal over three meals from 12pm-9pm. At teatime I have cauliflower, green beans, leeks & courgettes with either rice or pasta and canned chopped tomatoes (sometimes a ww sauce). Otherwise that's the only goodness for me, I fill up on ww cakes, low-fat crisps, sweets, no-fat yoghurts (only 1 per day) and sometimes the odd apple. I think I've totally taken the whole low-nutrient aspect of the diet to heart and am eating such crap!! It's fine for now, but can't wait to start eating healthily again. My fat levels are usually between 25-30g a day, protein 35-40g a day and sodium just under 1g. Hope that helps you

It's not bad at all. Dark choc may have some antioxidants that might sway ever so slightly, but white and milk choc is fine. Esp. things like Milky Ways/3 musketeers, which are hardly choc at all and are like pure sugar in the center with the caramel and nougat.

This just made my day!! I <3 <3 <3 Milky ways and was Sooooooooo afraid I was going to have to give them up!!! Thanks Atomic you are an amazing help!!! Can't wait until your cookbook is all done!!!!!!!!!
