    Really interesting! I stopped counting calories when I come to this woe and I am so happy I never had to do that again? Are you still loosing weight? As a feeding mum and so active I assume you burn more calories day than 1800 🤔

    Wow! I would’ve thought dinner would be around 1000 calories! That’s absolutely amazing!!! And thank you for sharing this. I’ve been wondering for ages how many calories you eat. Calorie density is truly amazing 🤩

    LOVE your videos, Ami. And you never have to explain about your babies – you are such a good mom. I love the food content, obviously, but I most admire what a good mom you are! Hugs to you!

    Thank you for putting yourself through this challenging task of weighing and counting calories 😬 but it was a great indication of how low calorie density volume eating works 😀👍 Rumi is so so cute and becoming such a fun character and I know it is concerning when her head flips to the side but at that age they are so relax and flexible that they can get away with it 👍 big hug for all of you 🤗

    Love this way of eating, I do actually count calories mainly because I have type 1 diabetes and need to know the carb counts of everything. I draw the line at weighing non starchy veggies though and just eyeball them. My needs are a little less than this for weight loss so I go for 1500-1600.

    I think if you calorie count everyday it can make you a bit obsessive and like you say, you can’t do it forever. I’ve tried so many diets before where potatoes are off limit and it’s so sad as we shouldn’t have to cut everything out. Romi looked so cute and happy on your back. Honestly, you don’t have to explain yourself. As mums we can be hard on ourselves and I think you’re amazing and your children are lucky to have you as there mama ❤xxxxxx

    Thanks so much for counting the calories for us. It gives us a good indication of what we’re having. I couldn’t calorie count everyday lol 😂. Those roast potatoes look amazing. Did you just add nutritional yeast? I’ve also tried roast potatoes with marmite 😊xxx

    Wow! Thanks for going to the trouble of showing your calories, Ami! I had been curious what your daily totals might be as well as how many pounds of food you typically eat. What a lot of hassle to do that! So glad this way of eating allows you to never have to worry about weighing or measuring your food. But thank you for the info. Useful data nonetheless.🥕🥔🥦

    Thank you for all your massive efforts in all of your videos. Romi loves sleeping in the backpack no matter which way her head is hanging. It was hysterical 😊 And thanks for the potato reset meal plan. I'm not doing the potato reset, but have made several of the recipes. All of your meal plans are fantastic. So thank you again. You are genuine and tireless. Amazing!

    I saw her floppy head and thought how cute. She knows she is safe because she is with mummy. You don't need to explain. You are a great mom, and I love your videos. I've been doing potato reset for 6 days thanks to you.

    I know you mean well and I mean no disrespect by this but wow! 1800 calories for the entire day?? That is far too low for someone like you. Why are you eating so low calories on a diet that encompasses weight loss foods?

    Thanks for this informative video. So many people get really caught up in the calorie counting. If you’re choosing the right foods you shouldn’t have to do that. I love eating this way. Potatoes really are the way to go!

    I broke my neck a couple of years ago as a young, outgoing 22 year old. I instantly lost the use of 90% of my body so now get around as a pair of functional arms on wheels. Unsurprisingly when all you've got to work with is a pair of noodle limbs, you suddenly are chucked into a world where real world calories really do have to be seriously restricted. Only part of you works and it's really quite hard to get your heart rate up to make up for that through exercise too. I took part in recent metabolic study that put my baseline calories while being fairly active with lots of handcycling and (necessarily) upper body workouts thrown in, still came out as 1200 calories maximum. Any more than that and I'll put on weight and putting on a bit of weight in my condition doesn't just mean looking a bit chubbier and having more to cuddle, it means even more restricted mobility, medical gaslighting, poorer public perception and, for me, less chance of being piggy backed into fun gigs and the Scottish wilds by friends and boyfriends. 4 years in, I've not got too bad and I still probably weigh just over 60kg but my belly has definitely grown and probably will continue to do so. I do not have the luxury of eating the volumes you do, even though my internal capacity and habits have stayed the same when my output has lessened. Therefore, even your slimmest picking day here definitely would be classed as a day of gorging for me. Nevertheless, I found it very interesting and helpful to watch! Thanks! As you said over and over, every body is different and I'm glad you found your magic formula, I'll just have to continue to adapt and deal with my struggles in my corner 😊 unsolicited ramble over! 😂

    Just a suggestion for your next plans, I'm hoping you would include a table of contents for the recipes. I am going over all three plans looking for specific recipes and it takes a while to find what I want. This way, I can open each plan and see if it includes the recipe I want. Thanks.

    Great video! A few years ago I started counting calories, every bit of food was weighed and added into MFP. I got to the lowest weight I'd been for a long time but I was averaging around 1200 calories a day…so basically starving, miserable and people thought I looked ill 😞 no more of that for me! I've not followed the potato reset plan to the letter this past week and a half(job stress mainly) but I have been eating mainly steamed/mashed potatoes with tons of sautéed or fresh veggies and I feel great on it…just need to cut out the alcohol 😔 and I'll be super
