Hi I am going to have my first fast day on Monday…..am a little nervous but am looking forward to the benefits I know it will bring. I cook a lot so where can I find calorie values for my basic ingredients and fresh fruit and veggies???

Hi Nursewitchie I have recently started 5:2 my fast days are Monday and Thursday so good luck. I have had to track my calories before. Trying not to do that now except on fast days. When I do I use my phone app FatSecret it gives nutrition info for everythin. I have never met a food I didn’t like and its always been found in that phone app. Might be able to use it to find values

“Am just installing Fatsecret now.”

What is Fatsecret, and how are you installing & using this?
