OK, I'll remember this.
I *should* exercise though, but that is definitely not for weightloss,
more for stress management and keeping the rsi at bay.

Myself, I created a little list with most of my regular foods,
googled/backs of packcages and such and I kept them as a kcal/gram list.
I also maintained a list of my usual servings, measured the mugs and
cups I regularly used, some with a counter intuitive result.
I'm sure these two lists could be maintained in an org or even a bbdb,
But many pains must be suffered for this functionality and I found that my
personal lists never exceeded more than 50 items. Hardly database
material, so not a priority for my case.
thanks, wzzl
