The websites I v isit

The websites I have bookmarked that I check often to determine calorie count are: www.calorie-count.com and http://home.thirdage.com/Food/okannog/calories.html#5targetname

As well, I visit the food pyramid to determine the food groups I'm ingesting in order to make sure I'm eating balanced meals: http://www.mypyramid.gov/index.html If you click on "Inside the Pyramid" you can select your food group and then click on (on the upper righthand side) How much is an ounce/cup etc and find out your values for the food you're eating.

On top of these websites I have a conversion website bookmarked when I need to convert grams to ounces etc, to determine quantity: http://www.onlineconversion.com/

finding calorie info

This web site is great for finding the number of calories for restaurant food. The owners of this website have put a lot of good weight loss information together including calorie information for more than 500 restaurants. Some things are in the Weight Watchers point system but you can convert them pretty easily if you can find another item with the same # of points.

hope this helps.

Look Online

A lot of restaurants will post their nutrition facts on their website. Unfortunately, it can be hard to come by for some restaurants.

If all else fails, I just try my best to find a similar item using the food search. Even if I'm 50-100 Cals off, it's no the end of the world.

Tips for Nutrition Information

I'd like to learn some tips and tricks for finding out Nutritional Information that isn't readily available or posted. For example, I've eaten a salad at a restaurant, or something more decadent like a slice of cheesecake. I want to enter items into my food journal. I haven't been to many restaurants that post the nutritional information on the menu, and the wait staff isn't likely to know either. What to do?

Exercise is Key!

I have found that the main ingredient (at least for me) is exercise. While both is necessary, if you exercise well then your body will learn to become more efficient at burning Cals.

Also, your whole mindset can change. If you aren't exercising then you will find yourself obsessed about not eating too much. If you do exercise, then you can start to look at food as the fuel your body needs to run that extra mile!
