It takes about 10 minutes, and I have the luxury of playing with the calories and macro numbers until it balances out. Then, I just eat my plan. It took a little adjusting at first, but now it's easy and helps me eat enough.

this is exactly what I do and usually do it the night before since if I don't prep my food for the day the night before it won't get done. I start off entering foods into fitday.com (what I use to track cals/macros) and then play around with foods/portion sizes to get the macros/calories right.
