If it makes you feel better, you could enter everything you eat onto

fitday.com. It will tally your calories, fat grams, carb grams, etc.

I use it all the time. I try to keeep my calories around 1200,

because I can't exercise, even tho we don't need to do this. There

are days I go over, but I'm usually in the ballpark.
