What a difference carbs make!

Those of you who are regular readers of my blog will know that I have been trying out this relatively new approach to dieting called fast diet. I am not going to talk about the diet itself but thought it would be useful to show one of the things I have learnt... Last night I had chicken, quinoa, tomatoes, mange tout, onion and mushrooms. It came to just over 450 calories. This morning I had 2 slices of toast. One with jam and one with peanut butter. It also came in at the same number of calories! I wonder which one will have left me feeling fuller longest!
