[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1727550, member: 408573"] This can sometimes cause a little controversy but I will give you my opinion for what it is worth. I have never counted a calorie in my life. The calories in carbs are not the same as the calories from fats, carbs and fats are metabolised on a different pathway. CICO (Calories In Calories Out) is a flawed concept because the maths simply do not add up (See Dr. Zoe Harcombe on youtube for more details). The priority for those newly diagnosed or new to lowering carb intake should be improved blood glucose levels management rather than calorie restriction for weight loss because oftentimes a lowered intake of carbs results in weight loss anyway. My advice to you is to keep noting your calorie intake but do not stress about it at this (very) early stage. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
