I'd recommend a digital kitchen scale. This is perhaps the best piece of kitchen equipment that I have. Since LessLiz recommended one, I use mine for EVERYTHING and it has really helped me as far as knowing how much I eat. Definitely worth having, and not expensive at Target or WallyWorld.

It depends on how much room I have left in my daily caloric intake as to whether I add in fats or not. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

I base my calories on my BMR - here's a link to a BMR calculator I also calculate in my activity level using the Harris Benedict Equation ,and then subtract about 400 or 500 calories from that final number (to create a caloric defecit). I eat between the BMR number and the Harris Benedict number -less the 400 to 500 calories daily.

On intervention, carbs should be about 7-10 net carbs per meal.
