<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Someone has posted to the list that GF flours are much higher in calories than wheat, and it is easy to gain weight eating them. I have a suggestion: Switch to baking _by weight_ in the european manner. Most of my cooking training has been European, and I weigh _everything_, including water. One gram of carbohydrate has approximately 4 calories. This is true if it is wheat or rice. The problem comes with portion sizes: since GF breads, cakes, etc. are more dense, it's necessary to eat smaller portions. Just some food for thought, and my US$0.02. Nathan Justus
