Help feel really bad as helped myself to half a chocolate biscuit bar. Planing to have a baguette for dinner soon at 320 calories with chicken noodle soup at 100 calories. Do you think this will be ok or have I got it totally wrong.

So long as you aim for 500 calories you'll be fine, there has been a day or so when I've gone slightly over, but I just try to eat sensibly the following day. I prefer to limit myself until my evening meal, but everybody does it differently, so whatever works for you. Good luck!

As fennel says it doesn't matter as long as you stick to the 500 cals, however many of us have found that cutting out carbs, particularly white carbs, on fast days helps keep the hunger at bay.

it was at about 2pm as just aimed at eating tea time but my daughter was waving this nice biscuit about. Not to bad in the end had just under 500 calories today so I am proud of myself.
