Im on day 5 of my diet. Im struggling with food calorie count.
Can anyone tell me a helpful way to find out how many calories I’m eating?
Problem is-
I often have to alter recipes or make some up myself…. (for the what the heck is that ingredient factor of many recipies)☺
How many calories are in broccoli for example. Or any other natural food that wouldn’t have a label…
I feel like I’d have much more success with weight loss if I could figure this out…..
Thank you anyone for some insights and imput.

A lot of us use a phone app like MyFitnessPal or CalorieKing, depending on which country we are in. You plug in 50g raw broccoli (or whatever) and it tells you calories, carbs, anything else you want to know. And adds everything up for the day, as well. It does mean you have to weigh everything to get an accurate result.

There are small books available at newsagents which give calories for just about all foods and serving sizes.
Means you don’t have to weigh every thing to work it out.
I have one called “Allan Borushek’s Pocket Calorie, Fat and Carbohydrate Counter
It’s really good.
