As a few of you know I have had to join RTM early (GP advice) so here I am on day 3 and seem to be on an even keel, hooray!
Now I know this question has been asked a zillion times and we are supposed to be figuring portion sizes out for ourselves but would really appreciate a few words of wisdom. I understand there is some information on portion sizes on the management website but I've not able to get on it yet and have been told it can take a week or so?
So .... I have read through the threads and it seems the protein portion size we should be having is 100g, is that right? Its just that a couple of other threads have suggested it should be more and does the portion size increase as you get further down the line or stay the same?
I had just under 100g of king prawns on day 1 and just over 100g of chicken breast on day 2, and just looking at the king prawns the calories in that 100g were 75. where as my pack would have been 125 .... so I was under that day, is that ok?
Today I am allowed salad, yippeee so thought I would have a tuna salad so the tin I have (drained) is 139g so I'm thinking I will just have the 100g ?
I guess what I really need to know is should I be looking a calories rather than portion sizes .... think perhaps I should?
Sorry for the rambling .... not really stressed about it at all but am just a little bit of a control freak and starting to feel a touch out of control.
