No doesn't count. The smidgen of milk is burned off too quickly to bother worrying about. Same goes for what kind of milk.

Do try not to obsess over tiny details like that or you're going to end up obsessive and ruin the sway! Also you really need to hit 1200 cals at bare minimum, and Atomic doesn't even like seeing that unless you are super tiny and completely sedentary. With all the exercise you're doing too, you MUST eat more than that for your own health and basic fertility. Dropping below 1200 can ruin your metabolism long term.

Seriously, please eat more, only 1000 calories is NOT enough for anyone!! Especially if you're doing 2 hours of exercise! You should be hitting 1500 minimum with that level of exercising.

Thanks Lace. I know I need to eat more atomic has told me too also.
I have a hiatus hernia and its playing me up at the moment. I'm guessing it's because I'm not eating my usual really healthy foods and its very stressful at work right now. It took me an hour to get a portion of lasagne down me! I'm going to eat more at lunch today so I hit my target.

Ok I'm very relieved to hear that!! Even if you can't stomache 'real' food right now though, you need the calories. Even something yummy and high cal like a milkshake to make up the deficit.
