    When I first started this low carb lark I made a big mistake in calculating total calories per day. I never realised how much water there is in even cooked meat. Check out this chart from a reliable source, interesting reading I reckon. Not a lot of calories in water eh.

    Yes that point was made recently on a blog I otherwise tend not to agree with very much - "industrial" food often contains a LOT less water, and hence a lot more calories than you would expect.
