I had been eating more in the mornings. Now I'm cutting down. Went from
six slices of bacon to four. Had 'em with two eggs and some
strawberries.
I plan on a handful of almonds and an Atkins bar for lunch, then a
5-mile run. If my calorie allotment holds out, its steak-and-salad for
dinner.

Why is that a drawback?

The staples of successful low carbing
are not packaged for convenient data entry
while the "fringe" foods as well as outright
garbage food is. Convenient data entry
can cause an increase in counter-productive
(yet convenient) food choices.

My steak and salad wasn't so hard to measure. The weight (and
nutritional info, as it was pre-marinaded) of the steak was all on the
side of the package, and my only major struggle with the salad was
deciding how to measure the pre-mixed lettuce. Aside from that, piece
of cake (no, I didn't have cake).
My steak has the weight on the package, too, but since I buy "family
packs" and freeze 'em, that won't help me much. :-)
I just weigh the lettuce, too.
I haven't tried weighing cake! LOL!

how you calculated my BMR (which was somewhere between sitting and
standing all day).
Very nice! :-)

You don't use volume measurements?
Volume is very inaccurate for non-liquids. How much letuce in a cup depends
on how it is pressed down. Whereas weight is invariable.

like lettuce.
Sounds like less than optimal software.

Probably why Bailey's Girl hasn't tried weighing cake. Why would she weigh
something she isn't going to eat?

The software I'm using has weight (both English and metric), volume,
and 'per-item' measurements actually.

You're right. Some things
are limited (quantity equal to
n X "item"😉 unless you dig a
little deeper.
