Welcome Back, Carbs

It's 12:30 now, and the hunger pains that started when I was on the cross-trainer have disappeared. Now slow-carb lunch for me today. Instead, I'll be having the left-over pasta thing from last night.

Weight Watchers says it's worth 13 ProPoints.

Calorie King says it's 618 calories, with 12.6 g of fat, 40.9 g of protein, and 86.5 g of carbs.

SparkPeople says it's 769 calories, with 28 g of fat, 40 g of protein, and 90 g of carbs. 

I'm tempted to try a couple more calorie counters just to see how much they all deviate from each other. No wonder people have a hard time tracking calories.

Update: I've joined Livestrong and it says the same meal is 546 calories, with 16 g of fat, 28 g of protein, and 63 g of carbs.

That's a spread of over 200 calories, depending on which source you use to get your info. That's nuts. 

I'll have another 500 ml of water with lunch, putting my total for the day at 2 litres.
