Got myself a calorie counter

It's the "Diet and Excercise Assistant" v4.0 by Keyoe, Inc.
(http://www.keyoe.com). Pretty nifty program actually. Has both a daily
calorie and carb counter (with a decent pre-existing library) a daily
logbook, and also helps track excercise and even Basal Metabolic Rate
calorie consumption. Pretty cool!

Just entered in my days diet, excercise, and BMR estimates for the
first time today... tried my best to be liberal in my caloric
estimates. I decided to go for a 750 calorie deficit per day, which the
program seems to consider ambitious, but not impossible (they suggest
between a 500-1000 calorie deficit per day).

Well, I ended up with a 54 calorie surplus today. Disappointing (its
good I went for a run or else it would have been much worse).

However, I knew before I even started entering items that I did overeat
today, but now I know exactly where I overate (I shouldn't have had
those extra chicken legs for dinner tonight).

Pretty cool program. I figure I'm well enough along in my weight loss
where I should start paying attention to calories. I recommend it to
others.

Managed to get myself up to a caloric deficit of 554 calories today.
Improvement. I would have done much better, but I didn't excercise.

Do you think your deficit is accurate?

I don't know... how would I know?

For my part, if I can't find a food that's represented in the
dictionary, I've been inputting it. I also have been trying to
overestimate my caloric intake. The program sets my basal metabolic
rate (BMR) automatically, based on my weight and height, and my chosen
baseline activity level (excluding excercise)... my BMR today was set
according to "sedentary" baseline activity.

I'll tell you one thing, I'm a bit hungry right now. I haven't eaten
my entire allotment today, I still have a few celery stalks left I can
eat (I had a dozen buffalo wings for lunch today), but we'll see if I
survive.

I think this would be easier if I had excercised today, and I could
have eaten a more substantial dinner. That's what I get, I suppose...

I pondered it for awhile and decided to
get it myself. The current version is 6.0
so I don't know how you ended up with
version 4.

Did I say Version 4? I probably made a mistake there.
