I think after a few weeks of fasting things settle. You get used to calories so you don't count them as strictly you can estimate and also your body starts adjusting to the fasting and less food.

Yes but then you hit the weightloss plateau!
That's why you gave to keep an eye on your TDEE it will go down as you lose and keep changing up your exercise to shock your body. But that said I've been at a plateau since I had to stop exercising.

My favorite us to use a wrap and make it into a lie fat pizza, it's about 200-300 calories. Tonight I'm making a chickpea and spinach curry for about 300 calories but I don't spread my calories I just have one main meal in the evening.
If you look on the 5:2 website there are some good recipies. X

Yes got the app thanks, it's really good! I didn't realise how many snacks I eat! The snacks came to miles more calories than the dinners! I'm putting in a cup of tea as 2 servings though coz I'm having a mug not a cup is that right? Still not totally got the hang of it. Also I don't weigh things so I'm guessing on sizes but going on the higher side so my cals may be a bit under. My TDEE (whatever that stands for) is only 1201.
Oh I have discovered drinking hot chicken bovril is good as I've got a real savoury tooth and would normally grab a packet of crisps and the bovril is only 16cals. Quite good for us gluten free people who can't have cuppa soups.

It's just how many calories you burn up in an average day, it's different depending on your sex, height, weight, how much exercise you do....
Here's a calculator

p.s. I'm doing this too, and have been since September last year. In fact, It's a fast day today.
When you're six three and training for a marathon- its no fun

I decided at the last moment to make this my fast day and not tomorrow. So far, so good. Kept myself busy and looking forward to chicken and veg for dinner. I think I probably overstep the 500 calorie mark, because I refuse to give up skimmed milk in my many cups of tea a day, but not by that much.
I find the evenings so much more difficult than during the day, anyway. :irked:
