A cheap and easy way to obtain a list of the calorie count for many
commonly eaten items is a Calorie Counter booklet from your local
newpaper shop or book store.
For weight loss, the following formula is helpful.
WEIGHT LOSS - CALORIE REDUCTION FORMULA
For the normally active person, multiply your weight in pounds by
15.
If you are sedentary, multipy by 13.
If you are very active or perform physical labor for a living,
multiply by 17.
The result is the number of calories per day that you need to
maintain your current body weight.
If you reduce your daily calorie intake by about 600 calories, you
will
lose a pound a week or so. Reduce the daily intake by 1200, you
lose
two pounds a week.
I don't have a site on file for exchange lists, but others here do.
I leave that to someone else.
If you have diabetes, the carbohydrate content of many food items is
often more helpful than simply counting calories.
For more information about this, you could have a look at;
