You need to use a BMR calculator, this one may be good on the link below, but don't forget to multiply for your general activity level.How do you set a base amount of calories you need?

I find you crave it more if not there so can go both ways really. I limit/weigh it. Its about self control so if a person has none then yea,don't buy it in. I don't drink alcohol so have a slight advantage for choc/sweets/crispsDon’t buy it in, if it isn’t there you won’t eat it
Stopped buying chocolate in this house and I’m not smashing it in anymore
I had to do this with biscuits. I can eat biscuits all day long. So I just can’t have them in the houseDon’t buy it in, if it isn’t there you won’t eat it

I keep telling this to my lass, who is as skinny as a rake, but she just doesn't understand. It's not even like she eats it either, she just hordes it!Don’t buy it in, if it isn’t there you won’t eat it

I can definitely relate to thatI keep telling this to my lass, who is as skinny as a rake, but she just doesn't understand. It's not even like she eats it either, she just hordes it!
She says "just don't eat it", but when you know it's there
I find it so easy not to buy it, and then don't give it a second thought, but with it in the house, it's like a coke head being given baggy to mind at a party
I was like that but eventually would just end up craving them and smashing a full packet in one sitting.I had to do this with biscuits. I can eat biscuits all day long. So I just can’t have them in the house
Ah see I don't even like the thick fatty bit, it's the worst bit to me. The only reason I would be against throwing it out it is I don't like wasting food, but I can look past that as it's basically like a bar of chocolate which is almost twice as calorie dense, and nowhere near as nice (to me). It's just not worth it.As for the ribeye question. I agree that if I am eating something like a steak (ribeye or any cut) then it is a treat so I'm doing it properly. The fat on a steak (or any piece of meat) is the best bit so why would I eat that if I didn't want to enjoy it fully? If I'm eating steak, roast pork or KFC then I'm definitely eating the fat/crackling/skin. I'll just make sure I'm logging the calories and budgeting for them from somewhere else.
See, I'd just smash the multipack, no problemI was like that but eventually would just end up craving them and smashing a full packet in one sitting.
That's why I go for a multipack of the 99kcal minibags and just have one with my morning coffee and that's it. Somehow it works!
Fast after 50 by Tim Spector - Cycling related but goes into a loft of dietry stuff, from memoryDoes anyone have any other podcast recommendations? I know one was mentioned earlier in the thread.
I've been going hard on reading/listening to books and audiobooks a lot recently, finding it helps to keep me motivated on track, but not many podcasts.
If you do your own food shopping, a thing I discovered when working in Glasgow (home of the sweet toothed).I had to do this with biscuits. I can eat biscuits all day long. So I just can’t have them in the house
