71% of registry members don't count calories

We have redone the results page, and compiled some stats based on the first 1,100 people to register. We've got thousands of data points to analyze, and present some interesting findings thus far. The large majority of registry members don't count their calories. This practice speaks to one fundamental difference between paleo or low carb, and the traditional advice. Instead of relying on portion size estimation which is very difficult for most, or the false precision of calorie counting, registry members seem to rely on their biology. Once they eliminate grain and flour, they simply eat when they are hungry. No calorie counting. 

Relying on calorie counting as your primary mechanism for determining how much to eat inherently relies on the food industry's abilities to provide accurate information on their food labels. Yet "accurate" is a relative term. The FDA only requires that food manufacturers be within 20% of their actual caloric values. So that 500 calorie lean cuisine spaghetti dish may actually be 600.
