Default Fitday + Atkins = Confusion

Hello everyone. I did Atkins about 4 years ago and lost a large amount of weight thanks in part to the tremendous support from tbhis board and a healthy addiction to the gym (I used to be Eireannegobragh, but I can't find my password). A lot has happened since then and I find myself almost back up to where I was before b/c I fell off the wagon at 90mph and hit the ground HARD. I was quite adept at following the plan, but that was before Fitday was as good as it is. I now find myself inputting everything I eat and relying on that carb counter. Previously with regards to veggies, I would measure out 2-3 cups depending on what else I had going on and would liberally eat the "freebies". Now it's telling me that just 3 slices of cooked eggplant are going to put me wayyyy over. In the past I would have measured a cup of that eggplant and eaten it no sweat.

I guess what I am asking is, is it better to go through the nitpicking FitDay does or should I stick with the old quantity measuring I was doing before?

Man I could use a beer....
