Ok, some of us (me) didn't do very well on the real actual BC and some others just feel the need to have a little extra push before the next real BC so this is our inbetween BC BC 
I'll start, I'm currently 222 lb and want to be 217 lb by the start of the real BC (11th May). I will be recording my food daily to keep on track, I am also going to weigh daily.
Food
B: Flax wrap with butter, coffee with cream
L: M&S salad, ff yog
S: S&V peanuts (none left now so I'll have normal nuts or none at all)
D: Cauli-rice with hot smoked salmon

Oh i'm so relieved Drama. Sometimes you see things online and then when they arrive the colour is unrecognisable. 
I'm sad that green doesn't really do much for me. It isn't horrible on or anything (like cream, brown or beige), it just isn't one of the colours which flatter my colouring.
What is your colouring, height and shape Drama (for some reason i feel sleazy asking that over the internet!)?

Haha MrsK! OK, I'll be brave. Here goes: I'm 5'10", short highlighted hair which is naturally mousy brown, pale skin with pinkish tones, hazel eyes. Shape - a bit too pudgy round the middle atm 
. Broad shoulders, decent bust, good legs. Too much tum & bum just now, but we're working on that, aren't we . When slim & fit I like my figure, it's sort of athletic with a few curves. Right now I've just dropped below 14st and goal weight is 11st, possibly a bit less. I was 10st 4lb just before I got pg with DS1 (22 years ago), but at my age (50) I don't necessarily want to go that low. I look slim & healthy at 11st. Given my bone structure, I wouldn't be able to get into anything smaller than a size 14, possibly a large 12, but that's fine with me.
That green is lovely on me. I like most shades of green and also like dusky pinks, greys, subtle blues and certain shades of teal. Can't wear yellow, orange or brown. Dislike peach with a passion. Anything very bright doesn't look good. White is probably better on me than cream. I tend not to wear black next to my face, it drains me unless I have a full face of makeup, which I don't wear much. I had my colours done years ago & came out as a cool summer.
I nipped home at lunchtime & tried on the dress. Colour is lovely, but dress didn't look right on me. It was a squeeze to get on - there are no fastenings, it's an over-the-head job, and was a bit tight. I was a bit scared I'd get stuck & wouldn't be able to get it off 
. Also, it was a bit short in the body for me so the belt fastened just under the bust, and unfortunately the kimono sleeves accentuated my shoulders too much. So, regretfully, it's going back.

So, inspired by gcalske and her bun-less burger in the pub last night - I decided to go off menu and ask whilst out for a working lunch for the burger with a salad.
The restaurant was very accomodating, but I should have said green salad - the salad was chickpeas, peas, beetroot, spring onions and a few lettuce leaves. Noted, and shared, for future reference

Preminstrel
B: ham and Philly rolls - good
L: steak and green beans with mayo - good
d: scrambled eggs and bacon - good
Your food seems fine but just watch that you are not eating too much processed meat, today you had bacon and ham, both are fine on BC but not both everyday. You are right, more veg would be better
Most people don't need to restrict calories on this WOE unless they are very close to goal weight. I thought most people above were only confessing to non-LC snacks (me) or snacks that they ate because they weren't hungry or didn't need them (babs). Just because they are LC snacks doesn't mean you have/need to eat them.
It doesn't look like you are eating too much to me but I have no idea what your portion sizes are or how many ham and philly rolls you had for example. If oyu eat when you are hungry and stop when you are satisfied then I'd say you are fine.

Ok should be ok then. Am stones away from target weight 
But yes it's a good opportunity to learn to listen to hunger more carefully.

Ahh stunt that's a nightmare. I know a refluxer is hard. My DD is 2.5 now but she was a silent refluxer and still has CMPA but I couldn't Bf due to PPH/sepsis so never had to cut anything out my diet so didn't think. femoves foot from mouth and proffers 
I have been told (on the last BC actually) that the refined coconut oil is ok but I'm not very hot on the sciencey stuff. Maybe whoever told me that can interject? I've gone for the 'middle way' as I see it which is biona cuisine. Biona state that they lightly steam the coconut oil to remove the taste but not the health benefits, you could maybe contact them to find out about the lauric acid? Or you could go for an MCT oil which is flavourless and is the original BPC recipe? I quite often make coffee with almond milk (almond breeze 0.4g/100ml or alpro unsweetened 0.1g/100ml) which could help lighten the coconut taste?
