Calorie counting?

BriteEye52 · 04-07-2009, 03:19 PM

Hi there! ... I've been recording exactly what I eat each day and counting my calories for all of the food... I'm using thedailyplate.com to look up a lot of the calorie values for the food that I eat, but I also cook a lot and I have no idea how to calculate the food that I make... I can generally estimate the calories for what I cook, but then there are a few things I make that I have no idea how to calculate the calories.... does anyone know of a good website to estimate the calories for recipes?

Thanks!!!

Awesome! Thanks so much! I was googling all sorts of things but that one worked

Now I'll be able to

and know what calories I'm eating!

Hm..I've been using the dailyplate for years now and there doesn't seem to be much that I can't find in their database. What kind of things are you cooking and don't they have their own nutrition labels? If so, you can manually enter the calories yourself.

I use to count calories when I was dieting until a friend recommended to me to a hypnosis and relaxation CD in the last week or two I’ve noticed I’m already losing weight from my midriff and thighs without even trying. I’m feeling really excited about my progress, my clothes are feeling a bit loser around the waist. My mum also listens to the CDs and she soon found she could leave off her meal when she started to feel full. The information was from,” helpme-loseweight.com.” I’m finding it was really helpful and informative.
