that you know how many calories you are eating a day even if you have been at this awhile UNLESS YOU MEASURE IT!!! Seems the eyesight goes bad after a bit. My body hasn't been responding the way that I thought that it should so today I decided it was time to start measuring things again. It added up to a whopping 1490 calories!! Guess I won't be bitching at anyone for not eating enough for a few days at least...
