Good grief: those Baseline calipers are $150.
I currently use these:
I'll plug some data in to that calculator which should be more useful than just relying on the age-based card that came with my cheapo calipers.

I'm really feeling good now that I am keeping my carbs around 60g a day. It's a goal, but not a strict guideline. I just seem to feel better with less carbs. Cheese is great, lots of calories, low carb, some protein. As long as you track your calories you shouldn't get fatty.
Salad is easy if you're trying to stop a few pounds. I use the myfitnesspal app to track everything.
If others use this app, we should share user ids and link up. It allows you to see everyone's food diary

Also, how do you look at friend's diaries? My roommate uses it but all I can see is his generic updates like "he finished his diary and was under his calorie goal"

Well that's a pretty personal question
I would say medium to large. "medium" says it has 54g
EDIT: I'm an idiot. The first time i selected that i bumped 2 servings by accident. Then every time since then it suggests it as a "recent" choice so i just kept selecting that. Makes sense. Yay for less carbs than I thought! (I am still at 79g though only having eaten 2 small turkey sausages, some kefir milk, a cup of carrots and a banana so 60 seems unobtainable to me)

At one point i used to eat nothing but chicken (with very little something on the side).. never had issues.

My father is a trainer so he was able to borrow them for a day. But yes theres much cheaper choices.

The only way I have noticed I go less/have trouble is if I haven't drank much water. I norm have like 10cups a day at least.

If you have IBS you need to go an a food sensitivity elimination diet.
Meaning you remove all of the most common foods that people have sensitivities to for a month, then reintroduce them one by one for 2-3 days and see if your body reacts.
The most common sensitivities are:
- lactose
- gluten
- casein (dairy)
- lectin (nuts)
- nightshades (cauliflower, peppers, etc)
You can shortcut the above by doing tests by one of the following companies:
- Alcat
- Entero labs
- Cyrex labs
The standard MD food sensitivity panel is worthless because of the high false negative rate.
You also want to read up on:
- GAPS diet
- Autoimmune paleo diet protocol

I'll look into those, thanks for the suggestion.
I did the SCD diet for about a month to help identify triggers. I already knew I was lactose intolerant, now I discovered I am gluten intolerant as well as nuts. So no more pasta which I used to nom all the time cuz its cheap and delish. Now I pretty much eat lean proteins (turkey/fish/chicken/eggs) and fruits and veggies and thats it. I can still manage to tolerate a cheat meal now and then so I dont go crazy but every time I do it reminds me why I gave it up in the first place. I never thought I would consider sushi a "cheat meal" Getting old sucks.
