Seem to be back on track. Have let up a little on the picayune details of calorie-counting, and have begun to post general values for certain classes of meals.
For example: after 4 months of daily details, I now know that a cold cereal breakfast will run about 300 cal; a toast-only breakfast around 400; eggs and bacon or ham close to 500. A sandwich with two slices of bread will cost me close to 450 cal, but the same fillings in a tortilla wrap only 350.
My goal is to stay under 1500 cal per day, and by "rounding up" my estimates to the next 100 cal total, I can let up on the tedium of counting and still stay within my limits.
Saw the doc last week and got the good (!) news from the labs:
Total cholesterol - 152; trigs - 102; A1C - 5.2.
Thank you partners and friends.
