I think they say it’s better to eat superfree as snacks, rather than free foods and my consultant always says try to eat basic foods rather than convenience foods such as savoury rice and pasta n sauces
but you are right, there’s loads of calories in free foods, I sometimes tot my cals up on MFP but then it frightens me as they so often go well over 2000 (I’m not trying to lose now I’m trying to maintain) and when you start thinking about basal metabolic rates and all that stuff, you start to question how it could work! But I suppose all the free foods on slimming world have no fat in them, so low fat diets are going to help us keep the weight off without the need to count calories.

If you’re losing weight though, don’t worry about the calories. Everyone always says, on this forum, either calorie count OR do slimming world don’t do both or you will just stress yourself out, trust the plan! I’ve lost over 8 n half stone on it so it can’t be all about calories
