I recently started limiting my calorie intake to 1500 a day. Its working out mostly ok except for when i have to cook and add all those ingredients. I make alot of West Indian food so its really hard to count my cals.
I would like to know how do i check the cals for a meal im making. Is there like an online tool that i can enter how much of this and that i add to the meal it will be able to tell me?

I usually track my cals at caloriecounter but find it add to add up the cals for the meals i make.
Thanks again!

It's so hard to count calories for homemade meals. It can be done, but alot measuring and stuff like that. I tend to eat alot of food with labels, or if I make homemade meals, they are mainly vegetables and stuff that I know are not high in calorie or fat, so I don't have to worry about calories.

Yeah, it is very hard. I leave most of my cals for dinner. I try my best to find an average of how much it is though. Sometimes i just go for a smart ones or lean cuisine meal for dinner that way i know the exact cals. Breakfast and lunch is pretty easy to figure out, i use mostly labelled foods. I read that if u cant count the cals in a meal use portion control so i try that also.
