Unnecessary stress is a big factor too, I think.

flay I think ff's :-) indicates mischief but ;-) might have been clearer

I see that now, but I wouldn't want anyone to get that fact wrong.

Just finished my evening meal (very late because rushing around on errands). 1 kilo of fresh steamed mussels with rice-bran oil, soya sauce and dried red chilli flakes dressing. 40gs of Stilton and 4 authentic Lancashire Eccles cakes (was gonna just have one, but found it impossible to resist). Now drinking coffee. Is this ok with this medical revelation?

Each Real Lancashire Eccles cake contains 212kcals and 9g of fat, 5g of which is saturated.
A kilo of mussels includes weight of shells I presume - so 1 mussel is 14kcals and contains 4mg of cholesterol. 28g of Stilton - if it were Blue Stilton - would be 110kcals, 81 of them from fat of which 30mg is cholesterol.
I'd say go easy on the Eccles!!
