Hi Alina,

Sorry I have taken a while to reply my DH is a bit of a computer hog.

I guess I don't really understand Basal and lifestyle calories and have only being working from what I see as the total calories at the bottom of the page minusing fibre.

I have had a couple of really rough days health wise with a trip to the hospital today which was really upsetting, nothing too major but I have arthritis which she blamed on my lifestyle and diet. Not Good

I think I will investigate into fitday a bit more and see what kind of calories I should be having. Although on this way of eating I have never been hungry which has been a blessing.

hope no one has taken offence to my post and I hope you all understand that we all have problems to overcome in all shapes and sizes. I am no different.

Thank you all again for taking the time to reply to my questions

Bye
