Counting Calories

Rules:
I was inspired to make this after very much enjoying Scojo's excellent puzzle Chocolate Banana Sandwiches
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Divide the grid into yellow regions and brown regions. If a region contains more than one cell, the cells must be orthogonally connected, and two regions of the same colour may not share an orthogonal edge.
- Brown regions (chocolate bars) must be rectangular (squares are ok too).
- Yellows regions (bananas) must NOT be square / rectangular.
- Digits may repeat within regions.
- A digit in a banana cell indicates exactly how many banana cells contain that digit.
- A digit in a brown diamond belongs to a chocolate bar and indicates the size of that chocolate bar. Every chocolate bar has a different size.
- A digit on an arrow cell indicates the total sum of the closest (neighbouring) cells in each of the indicated directions.

That was fun. The implications of the rules worked amazingly within the puzzle thank you for this great hybrid.

Lovely puzzle! Once you wrap your head around the rules it has some very nice logic and flows very smoothly.

Typical Marty brilliance. Every deduction feels both profound and yet utterly clear at all times. The way the counting rules interacted was gorgeous.

Very nice! I think 4 star difficulty is correct

Awesome puzzle! 3/5 probably if you have experience with the counting rules and don't have to figure all the tricks that come with having seen those before!

Absolutely stunning setting! Filled with MMM's throughout! Thank you for the gentle nudge! This is perhaps your best work yet (and as I love all your puzzles that's saying something!)

Very fun. Took a little bit to figure out the right things to think about, but then it flowed nicely.

Oh now I see, this "balanced" diet must be the secret behind your amazingly sweet puzzles :)

Lovely puzzle with some "Hmmm, that must be a marty_sears trick thing again" moments.
You are a brand, marty.
Very well done again
