Just another 1900 odd calories needed for the rest of the day then.

Also, calorie counting as a method of losing weight is bent and stupid.

i sort of agree and sort of disagree
in that 2,000 calories of mars bar per day ain't helping anyone.

but if you are generally eating healthily, it's a useful GUIDE as to how much you are taking in and burning off.

Here's a useful guide:
88 calories for breakfast and lunch is woefully inadequate, even for a chunky bird like you.

I heard a consultant on R4 a few weeks ago ripping a 'diet specialist' a new one for spouting the latest mumbo jumbo
The gist of his recipe for losing weight (for the 99.9% of us that don't have metabolic problems)?
Burn more calories than you consume. There are two ways to do this, lower your intake to less calories than you burn or up your calorie burning to more than you consume.
That's it in a nutshell.

Or you know, do a bit of both.
Eat a bit less, do a bit more.
