I have found this to be very challenging when eating meals that are “mixed” such as lasagna, or there is little data on what the calories are……..there are just so many variables.  Also, tracking and updating the Fitday.com website takes time and I just do not have any to spare these days.

So….plans change and I have now STOPPED counting calories! I do not regret starting….I believe that it was a worthwhile exercise but not a long term solution.

The exercise of counting calories has profoundly educated me on what I should be eating and what I shouldn’t be eating. Basically eat fruits and veggies….just like we have been told all along.
