I'm not used to counting calories
I am discovering that 600 calories (men get more because we're better) is hardly anything. Really, calling it "fasting" should have tipped me off, but it's come as an unpleasant surprise.

the original calorie counters of the 70's and 80's stuck to 1,000 cals a day, it's HARD
it's hard to fit 3 meals and 2 healthy snacks into 1,000 cals. ok, so day 1 you could have:
belvita breakfast biscuits (250 cals)
glass orange juice (150 cals)
apple (40 cals)
soup (300 cals)
pear (40 cals)
oh wait, that leaves... precisely 220 cals for dinner. so a piece of fish or chicken and salad with no dressing. and nothing for alcohol. WOOHOO.

I had weetabix for breakfast with semi-skimmed milk
a couple of swigs of OJ and a mug of tea with the same milk. I have an apple for lunch and a chicken breast with some peas for dinner.
I have researched calories for tea with milk and may pick up some green tea at lunchtime to avoid those extra 10-15.
