After a few days in the hills, I start to long for chips. I think it's the lack of carbs.!

Well Jim, if you're going to eat lunch with 'nothing on', I hope that a) it's not cold weather and b)you are well hidden from any lady walkers that happen along. Also Jim, it's not only the lack of carbs....you just LURVE chips.

I would need more than this to keep me going or you would end up carrying me back through lack of energy..

Do you know Kayleigh, I was just thinking that his diet for the whole day would just be enough fo my breakfast and elevensies. is this man as thin as a rake or is he taking in lots of 'manna from heaven' or something, either that or he's fibbing, and I'm sure he wouldn't do that

No, he is far too thin I think he need fattening up a bit.
We could take him in your caravan and show him how to have a few good meals..

Careful Kayleigh. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach,Is that what we really want?

I'm saying nothing...

[posie]

Yes Kayleigh, and I foresee that 'I' get the 'through his stomach'.bit, ie.the COOKING, and YOU, you get the 'Way to a man's heart' bit, while I'm doin the Washing Up. ! !

[Jim Ford]

The description of my diet is accurate. I lose my appetite in the hills and lose a bit of weight!

Yes I believe your diet Jim, just that it wouldn't be enough for me.Trouble is , I don't just eat to live, as I should, what I do is comfort eat if I am bored, or anything thats not right really, I EAT.very naughty really,must stop it. But I would have thought that you are using more calories than usual on a walk like that,and that your body would ask for more food.Obviously I'm wrong.

Well mine does lol

I went to Loch Lomond in July I had a cereal to start, full Scottish breakfast then toast and marmalade...
Well were out all day..
Lunch we got a sandwich and 3 course meal in the evening.
I do have an excuse as I go dizzy feel faint if I don't eat enough.
