 I'm still not at one with this whole calorie thing.. I think I might need to invest in a little handbook or something that makes sense...

Yep am with you on this one...am ok looking at food and getting to know serving sizes but don't ask me what the calorie content is.

Was just looking at the diet again...I get about 1800 calories- not sure how that fits into the 4/3/2/1 pyramid.  Could end up eating way more than 4 serves of fruit / veg or something else to get to 1800 calories- unless I drop my calorie intake substantially.

there is no such thing as 45cals for a slice of bread.....the least calories per slice would be 95calories....i am going to use R & Rgluten free wholegrain bread...it is 95cals per slice, 3.5g fibre, and .8g fat....the best bread on the market...can be bought at your supermarket or health food shop....

Often i find the budget bread has a lot less calories than fancy name brands, as low as 50kcal per slice. I normally just get wholemeal unless they dont have it in which case i get white.

"there is no such thing as 45cals for a slice of bread"

 Sara Lee makes bread that is 45cal per slice.  They have it in Whole Wheat and Whole Grain.  I think it's the best low-cal bread.  I believe Nutrigrain has a 40 cal slice bread, but I've not tried it.  I'm not sure if these are available where you are.
