Zeffryn since you introduced me to protein balls (......oooh God bless you for this ... total YUM) let me ask you, to you count the calories in each ball just for your own knowledge? For ex, I total how much calories in the total batch and then divide it by the number of balls I make. Even thought I don't calorie count, this helps me know how much cals I am eating with each ball.

Yep. I don't count calories every day, but I do check in once in awhile on random days just to make sure that I'm about where I need to be. Each ball that I make is roughly 150 calories, they vary depending on the ingredients used.
