Ok, since you asked, today's food was:

Breakfast of oats, blueberries (also in season), almonds and milk.
Lunch of two poached eggs on toast with Marmite.
Afternoon snack of some crisps and a piece of cheese.
Tea was a salmon (prob about 5oz), veggies, pasta mixed with some cream, I also had a glass of wine.
For pud I had blackberry (from the garden) crumble.

I don't count calories, but I would guess that totals about 2000 or so, maybe a little more, I dunno. I did row 10k today (on a machine, not water, and yes this is slightly smug, but you did ask) so I'm probably going to have some bread, cheese and a pickled egg as an evening snack.

Butter on that toast and bread? Unless your portion size is tiny I think that would be way over 2000.

Yesterday I had two eggs on toast, no butter, with spinach. Cycled 16km, not much as I had cycled 35 on Saturday and was a bit tired. Greek yoghurt with plums for a snack. Squash, onions, plain pasta and roast chicken for dinner. Coffees with skimmed milk. No alcohol.

Calories counting is the pits. The weight loss industry is a multi billion dollar industry...anyone who has gone on a diet usually ends us gaining that and more back...voila the multi billion dollar industry lives to see another day again.

I'm fat. No weight loss this week but I did go out for a curry on Saturday.

Weight loss isn't simple, I saw that earlier you agreed it isn't easy but please don't make references to lard arses. It isn't helpful.

I prefer marmite on its own. I don't use butter in sandwiches as there's usually some other condiment that goes better (pickle, mayo, ketchup or what have you) and you don't need both.

I can understand wih that other shit, but what's wrong with mayo?

As long as you have a bit of cheese, tomato or salami, why is there the need for any of those spreads? It just makes for a soggy sandwich.

If you like white, vinegary pus then knock yourself out. It's a pale substitute for butter though.

Well, you clearly have a strong aversion to it. I suppose this means that you don't ever have egg or tuna sandwiches?

Is that outdoor cycling?

Butter spread thinly doesn't add too many calories.

Outdoor cycling. Mostly on trails.
