I went back and looked at NutribaseEZ again and I found that it does
track Potassium, it was only that I had not entered a daily goal
amount for it so it was not showing up on nutrition reports. It is in
the nutrient database and shows up for all food items. It also tracks
phosphorous, but I'm not sure if that is the same thing you meant when
you said you need to track phosphates. You might want to contact
technical support there and see what they say.

Several people *have* replied, telling you that they DO count calories. Go
look in your newsreader archive if you missed them.

I counted calories (ie: tracked them with fitday) for a while, while
LCing. I find now that I'm on maintenance, I just try to keep a good
balance between carbs/fat/protein and try to eat only when I'm hungry.

If I'm going to snack, I try to have small portions (ie: 3-4 peanuts in
a shell, or a small apple or an oz of cheese or something.)

So, no I do not *count* calories per se, but I do try to keep within a
reasonable amount of calories, which I *figure* is probably about 2000
to 2400, depending on the day.

I do. Since I'm a shorty, I have to really watch both. It works for me.

I replied to your original post, and I know I saw quite a few other replies,
too. You may want to check the archives. Anyway, to re-answer your question:
Yes, I do count calories. I use fitday.com and track everything. While I was
trying to lose I kept between 1200 - 1500 calories and under 50 carbs. Now that
I'm pretty much on maintanence I can go as high as 1800 calories and between 75
- 100 carbs and be safe.

You know, I've already answered your question and I'm getting kind of
tired of you hanging your insipid "no body answered my question"
whining on my reply to someone else's question. Count the damn
calories, don't count the damn calories, you're going to need to find
out what works for you, not what works for other people. And for
God's sake get a spell checker and start using capital letters. (Yes,
I know flaming spelling and grammar is a Usenet faux pas, but good
grief.)
