basically i was just going by the last 2 menus you listed and they were pretty much cottage cheese, grapes and walnuts, no veggies very few complex carbs but a ton of simple carbs.

anyway it sounds like you're eating a lot of cheat foods and meals you cant tally up and dont bother to list so my comments are pretty much invalid anyway

*sigh*

Another disillusioned would-be helper.. :(

Well, I list what I ate that day..

A day when I manage to eat clean the whole day through, at least..

There are other menus farther back with stuff like cheese omelets with oranges and tomatoes, chocolate tofu pudding, chicken caeser salad with apples, yogurt and strawberry shakes, etc. so please don't take those 2 menus as my only foods..

I'll start listing everything day by day by day, but the cal. counts and percentages are going to be off, and I'll be getting my peepee slapped for content (the chicken cacciatore, for example)..

It's usually dinners that are my undoing, ie. one meal out of 6-7 every 3 days or so..

Not great, I admit..

But it's not corn dogs and potato chips, at least..

Anyhoo, any thoughts thoughts for the rest of my follow-up answers to your comments?

What does that mean? If anything you're the disillusioned one, Dougz.

If you did your own homework you'd be able to put together something on your own and bypass half of the questions you ask. How do you think everyone else learned what they know??

I think its pretty rediculous to say "I don't know the calorie content of this, so I won't count". WTF is that about? If you can't get an exact count you can at least estimate it. If you use a whole can of sauce and end up with about half of the dish, then guess what, you've probably got around half the sauce.

I'm not the best dieter but I can guess at the calories in my meal without checking labels (I check afterwards sometimes to verify). I'm usually good to within 100-200 calories too, so it doesn't take a genius to do it, it just takes common sense and knowing a few numbers.
