So yesterday my endo doc put me on a 1600 cal diet. :grumble: How the heck do I do that? So I websearched for 1600 cal diets and came across this site. Right now I'm just tracking what I normally eat for this week and then I plan to tweak it to get it down to ~1600. I like the fact that it has all sorts of foods listed and will let you add foods that you eat. I also like the fact that it gives you extra cals if you excersize.
