Hi bluesfan,

You went the wrong way with your conversion - 5kg is about 11lbs

I would eat chick peas all the time if I could - as Chana Masala. It is one of my favourite Indian dishes. Not entirely sure about dips, for me they are a 'gateway' food to other, unhealthy, creamy dips, then packs of chips sneak in. I was looking at baked Indonesian chips made from lentils today, but they were still 120cals per ounce/25g. Better to resist temptation.

Caroline,

Your Haircutter friend is rightly proud of herself. Next time you see her, give her my congratulations!

Dave.
