i know it's nuts. i just eyeball it. especially if you eat something different every day, it's kind of crazy to calculate (easy for obsessives but nobody else).

bodybuilders are extremely dedicated to their monomania and i don't have that kind of patience either.

BUT they are the empirical proof of their theories-- unlike so many fad diets and theories that pop up every other month, bodybuilder communities consistently produce people who are a) massively healthy and b) lean as fuck.

so i use them as a reference and broad guideline more than something to strictly follow.
