Diario de Somebody Else, 05 may. 21

I forgot just how frustrating it can be to figure out what the right nutritional information is for some things. I'm looking at an Asda pack of spicy vegetable cous-cous. The back says it's 100g, and that 100g is 146kcal, yet it says half the pack is 183kcal; so, which is it? Drives me crazy.

I'm going to order some stuff from Asda, and this time I'm focusing on pre-packaged things, so I can have an easy time figuring out what I'm eating. It worked well the last time I had to lose a bunch of weight, so it should work well now. I'm still going to buy SOME nice things, but nothing crazy; I need that psychological break now and then; I learned that from the last time.

I do have kitchen scales, just in-case, though.

So, week 2 is depressing and frustrating so far, but I'm definitely in gear.

Oh, and no more booze for me. I don't drink much, but lately I've been drinking quite a bit of cider. So, no more booze; it's full of calories, apparently.

UPDATE: Food ordered, and I think I did pretty well! Feeling a bit more optimistic.

You need to apply a bit of mental arithmetic. Some packets do give the calories for the whole packet but annoyingly a lot do it by 100g. So the packet you looked at must have contained 250g. Half of which is 125g, slightly over the 100g quoted giving the 183 cals. (366 cal per packet)

Yes, and also, frustratingly, some packets only give cals for 100g “cooked as per instructions”, some rice for example, but don’t say how much dry rice makes 100g of cooked. Fortunately the cal counter on here has cals for basics like rice, as long as you know to pick the higher value if you’re calculating on dry 🤪🤪🤪
