True story: We wanted to go out to dinner the other night. I requested Olive Garden. Do I love Olive Garden? No. But they're big enough that they have to put calories on the menu. I went in with a budget and was able to fairly confidently stick to that budget. And it was pretty decent.
I'm looking forward to the days when those regulations are enforced and everybody has to put that on the menus (fat, carbs, fiber, and protein would be nice too).
I used to track religiously, got a bit burnt out on it and paid the price. I need to start again. Having good information to go by would make it easier (as would my wife not constantly bringing sweets into the house, but I don't have control over that).
