Im reading up on your suggestion kopf, but ill have to go with zarn02 on this, i cant get my head wraped around howd I even start it. I already skip the bread on sandwiches and double the meat, no cheese or mayo. But when it comes to the dinner at the end of the day. id go hungry without some rice to stuff me up...

Read the book

Or just have good genetics, I'm only carrying maybe 10 extra lbs at most and eat whatever I feel like. If I actually worked out the belly would go flat again.

What isle are those on again?

I've been using myfitnesspal.com

or more specifically their iPhone app that ties to the website

What isle are those on again? 

the "luck of the draw" aisle
I got plenty of other bad stuff to offset that though.  

Also, my belief is the whole growing up in a disfunctional home helped too. Eating by myself in my bedroom while watching TV, i never got that whole "clean your plate, starving children in <impoverished country of your choice>" speech. I just always eat until I'm full and never have the guilt that I have to eat more.

Go to that sight and click on baked goods, then click on croutons.  Bingo they come out with 186 calories for 1 cup of croutons and nutritional content.

If packaged, what brand?  Their low fat version?  Low calorie version?  White, unbleached or whole wheat flour?  What other ingredients are added (besides "seasonings")

If home made from what kind of bread?  Toasted in a pan or baked?  In butter?  Margarine? Olive oil?  Toasted with no added oil?

^^ yes

Well for shits and grins I'm going to see if I can make this calorie counter thing work.

And with lunch being a frozen pizza and a soda, I'm off to a hell of start. There may also be beer and/or whiskey later.

If you really want to get lean and maintain and even increase muscle, get on the Paleo diet. You can
pretty much eat as much lean meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruit as you desire (eggs a few times a week).

Though I'm not all that familiar with the Paleo diet, from what you describe it sounds a lot like most low/no carb diets.

What makes it unique or different?

Not be argumenitive but eating healthy sux.

about 2-1/2 years ago my doctor informed me my BP was a little high. so I changed my diet, cut out carbs (I LOVE PASTA AND BEER), cut my fat intake way down and have veggies with every meal. now I feel worse than I did when I ate like crap. I know it's for the better but.......

The Bacon thread is a far more enjoyable read than this one.
