Hi – I am not sure that the calorie count for the recipe “Spanish Chickpea and spinach soup” p 207 of the 8 week BSD book is correct. It claims to be 2 portions at 210 calories per portion. When I add up the individual components it comes to way more than that. How do I check this?

There are loads of websites and apps out there, just google calories in… and you’ll be able to choose which one you like using. Calorie king is quite good and the nhs one too

Thanks Janet1973. I have found Calorie King and it is easy to use. I think I overestimated the cals for the chickpeas when adding up for the Spanish Soup. It is not nearly so ‘out’ as I first thought. Very generous helpings though – good one for when one is v v hungry.
