Calorie Calculator

Hey y'all

I've started calculating calories on my recipes and posting them on the site. If you're interested in doing this with your own food, my favorite site to do so is http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

Spark People is a great resource. You can track what you eat daily as well as your daily exercise with easy calculators that save your progress. You might be surprised to see what you do and do not do!

Effortless Epicurean Tip of The Day - Check your favorite fast food websites to see if they have nutrition calculators. My favorite example - Moe's Southwest Grill(tm) has a salad that, when eaten with the crispy tortilla bowl, is 1000 calories and over 30g fat. That's right, more than 1/2 of your daily allowances!!!
