Pasta was +3, chicken with a bit of rice and veggies was -2.

Of course I had to get up at the same time every day, eat basically the same things every day, eat snacks 2 hours after each meal, and eat those meals on schedule every day... It was hard...and I hated it... but it can be done.
Egad...the inflexibility...

I guess what I wonder is...well, maybe that's not right either. Okay, I'll just say it: WHY would anyone want to live like that?
