Poor calorie choice: Very high in calories per gram


I added to my celery snack some cheese and tomato and bell pepper!

Pumpkin is a good one for me, personally. Doesn't give me stomach ache and all that.

I think the most important thing is just to stick to reasonable portions. Choccie is fine, but not everyday. A small plate of meat, rice and pumpkin on a Sunday definitely won't kill you. Although I lost a lot of weight eating that for lunch everyday but then I'm talking about 2 tablespoons of cooked rice and everything put together would fit easily into my cupped hands, or even one of my hands (:D just a portion size indication). So for me I find controlling portions helps.
 
I remember body for life used to suggest fist sized portions of 1 veg, 1 starch and 1 protein. [If I remember correctly)

It's got nothing to do with controlling portion size other than the fact that you have cut back on carbs

Cutting back - Smaller size.
Sounds like the same thing to me :D

I was actually saying that you don't need to fuss too much about whether pumpkin has more calories than beans or something.

you don't have to control portion sizes if you cut out the carbs

sounds a bit dodgy that, as much as CICO might not be the answer, i fail to believe eating a plate of cream, fat and meat will not have any effects on your body..
