Actually, I have not found it to be difficult at all. I calculate the
calories using my recipe program -- I happen to use Living Cookbook but
I think that MasterCook and other popular programs also do this. The
first time I make it, I measure it out so I know what a portion size is
(total volume/# of portions). Then I put it in my food log. I eat at
home at least 6 days out of 7. I lost weight, met my goal and I have
been maintaining using a food and exercise log. So, call it impossible.
Call it impractical. The fact of the matter is, it worked for me and I
understand that it has worked for many others on this ng.
