    Hi lilbella

    Yes, it has been an eye opener to me too! eek

     I have only ever counted calories too and didnt have a thought about the fat content in various foods, some of which I had not even realise had a fat content in the first place!

    I agree.

    ive always had good amount of fruit and veg but my weight (3st) is from snacks at work then work stress was so bad I became quite depressed then lost my muscle tone as i didnt feel like doing anything etc

    I think the biggest surprise was the fat content in breaded fish
