    Is calorie counting better then low fat diets?

    Personally, I think calorie counting is the best way to go. I don’t eat a low fat diet (far from it!) but I count my calories and that helps me keep on track.

    I sure can eat that Penne with ricotta any time. I normally just eat penne with some tomatoes and salt and it’s all good. Would try that Penne recipe you just posted. Thanks!
