The recipes are not calorie or portion controlled because they are meant to be lifelong foods, not DIET foods. There is no restriction on fats or carbohydrates; some of the foods are low fat, some are low carbohydrate, and some are high fat/high carbohydrate. By food logging and gaining an appreciation of where calories come from (food frequency, portions, and calorie density) it is going to be up to you to monitor and regulate your calorie intake.
