It’s impressed!
But, Is it convenient?
How many efforts and time have to be spent for the finding and selecting of needed food and are you ready for it? The question will become actual, if you understand that it’s impossible to determine exactly the quantity of consumed food and to know the composition and food energy for the majority of products which are variable from party to party.
Is it impressed?
Yes.
Is it useful?
It’s hardly because it’s impossible to estimate physical activity and spent calories in detail and there is only one accurate parameter, it is exercise time.
