I lost some weight when I was doing the metabolism study, without really trying to be on a diet. I think a lot of it came from a) knowing that at the end of the month I would go to the lab and have my body fat scanned, and b) keeping a food diary that I knew someone was going to analyze and count calories for.
Out of curiosity, how do you manage to count up all the calories for your food diary? 95% of what I eat is home cooked and doesn't have convenient labels on the side. Are their websites that list the amount of calories in, for example, various types of vegetables per weight? Would this likely be a time consuming process?
I use caloriecount and a kitchen scale (it sounds like a pain to weigh ingredients, but it's usually easier than using measuring cups, and after a while you get pretty good at estimating). Caloriecount.com is a bit messy, but becomes pretty easy to use if you tag all the foods you eat regularly. You can enter and analyze recipes and save them for later, too.
Thanks!
