Glad you found that useful.

Wanted to add - we avoided eating at restaurants the whole time because the few times I had to (while travelling for eg) the chef rarely understood that the meal needed to contain NO ADDED FAT at all.

Eating at friend's houses - I would either take a piece of marinated chicken breast or a weight watchers lasagna and then just cook/heat it there. Tell your hosts your situation, ppl are pretty happy to leave the salad undressed or do some veggies without oil if they know beforehand. I got through the Christmas/festive season this way so you'll have no problems!!

Oh and my top tip ... I *always* had one mouthful of whatever yummy thing that was there (dessert, pizza, whatever). That way I didn't ever feel completely 'deprived'. LOL
