canned fruit
I'm trying to keep track of calories and I have a question. Is the caloretic content listed on cans of fruit with the juice or drained??? I always get light or unsweetened but I usually drain it- so am I using less calories than it says? if so how do I calculate it? (pineapple/mandarin oranges to be exact)

Excercise calories/fats/sugar...
I've been eating as many excecise calories as possible, however, I noticed I often am over either fats/sugar/sodium or something else. Does this matter too much? I dont want to do well in one area and crap out in another- seems counter-productive or something. What do you think?
