Calorie chart
The calorie chart below lists calories in food for average adult helpings unless otherwise stated. This type of calorie count should be easier to use than a complicated calorie calculator.
A diet is when you watch what you eat and wish you could eat what you watch. (Hermione Gingold)
Being too preoccupied with calculating the exact number of calories absorbed or burned does not make a diet easier to follow. Changing eating habits is more important as well as reducing quantities consumed generally. Calorie burning with exercise helps and feeling fit and strong to get on with a low calorie diet is a must. To this end, high quality, all-natural liquid vitamins are recommended, for better absorption.
