Pages: 1 Question about counting calories       #173176 - 04/24/05 04:38 PM Edit Reply Quote AmandaPanda, J.D. Reged: 04/26/04 Posts: 1490 Loc: New York, New York Hey everyone -- I know I haven't been on here in a while. I also think the people at my gym probably think I died, because I haven't been there in a while either. It's been a busy couple of months. Actually I did make it to the gym yesterday and I weigh the same I have all year, so I guess that's good. Anyway here's my question. I avoid processed/packaged foods, as I assume most of you do too. I can figure out how to estimate the calorie content of the foods I prepare myself (just add up the ingredients) but how do you account for calories when you eat at someone's home, or at a restaurant (not like a fast food restaurant with nutrition info)? I don't want to resort to always eating packaged foods, for obvious reasons. Any tips? Muchas gracias!

It makes it really easy to for foods you prepare yourself. For foods at other people's houses and restaurants it's more difficult but the food database on there is huge and it has a lot of estimated values for commonly prepare meals. Hope that helps!
