Calorie chart

The calorie chart below lists calories in food for average adult helpings unless otherwise stated. This type of calorie count should be easier to use than a complicated calorie calculator. A diet is when you watch what you eat and wish you could eat what you watch. (Hermione Gingold) Being too preoccupied with calculating the exact number of calories absorbed or burned does not make a diet easier to follow or more effective. Changing eating habits is more important - reducing quantities consumed generally as well as calorie burning through some form of exercise, even just walking for at least half an hour per day.
