Today is going to be a fast day for me. So far I have had one cup of Rooibos and a small apple. Just looking for online calorie calculators to help keep track.

I use
this one to learn calorie and nutrient levels. But quite often it fails to show me what I need, as many of the Japanese foods aren't listed. Then I have to have my wife consult one of the Japanese sites. But to be frank, I don't keep a strict daily count. I 'know' that a small bowl of rice, a package of fake crab, and some pickled veggies equals 'about' 350 calories. I know that the Starbuck's "Veggie & Chicken Salad Wrap" is 182 calories (if they are telling the truth) and half a grilled chicken breast and a head of broccoli is less than 300 calories. If I eat more during one meal, no problem. My goal is to keep under 800-1,000 calories per day, and get good strenuous exercise too. If one day I get the urge for a cheesburger... no problem. I don't know what the calorie count is, but I'll be sure that the next meal is really low to balance it. I'm not looking for exact numbers, just the concept.
It's actually pretty easy here as so many of the restaurants are now printing calorie and sodium levels next to each menu item.
