What's going on there then? The male human body is supposed to…

allow myself to introduce... myself
Been here just a few days so far and it's been very useful. I've never really tracked calories before, so this has been really eye-opening. Much more accurate than the mental guesstimating that I used to do. Anyway, hi!
