Calorie counting

New Year brings a rush of calorie counting at Fit and Trim's free calorie counter, with thousands more queueing up to count the calories than had been before Xmas.

Most popular searches for foods to find how many calories in include:

Calories in a banana
Apple calories
Calories in turkey
Calories in corn
Calories in chicken breast
Calories in bacon
Calories in strawberry
Calories in cabbage

Keep counting them calories and good luck losing weight.

How many calories in food?

Need to know how many calories in a pint of guinness?

There are many different sources for how many calories in foods, for example United States FSA data or various other government bodies, lots of different online databases for calorie counting, some of which list in their web pages for free the number of calories for different common foods like apples and bananas, others of which are paid for subscriptions, and some which provide some really cool software solutions where you can enter what you've eaten each day and how much exercise you've done.

My favourite is a Uk site called Fit and Trim. Here are the key links there for calories in food:

Free calorie counter
How many calories in food index page

Then there are index pages for how many calories in each of the common food groups:

Calories in fruit
Calories in vegetables
Calories in nuts and cereals
Calories in meat and fish
Calories in dairy products
Calories in alcohol and drinks
Calories in meals and snacks


Finally, they have pages for 100s of individual foods, listing calories as well as fat and vitamin content, like these:

How many calories in an apple
How many calories in a banana
Calories in guinness
Calories in beer
Calories in a tomato
Calories in a potato
Calories in eggs
Calories in vodka

Have fun counting the calories!
