The FastDay Forum

It would really help me lots if the recipes here all had individual calories listed with each ingredient as i don't necessarily know how many calories in each kind of food yet, or have them all at my fingertips. This would make it easier if i have to change a recipe because i can't eat or don't have a particular ingredient as well, I could just deduct the relevant calories from the total.

www.myfatsecret.co.uk is a good website for keeping track of calories and has recipes and facilities for building up a range of your fav foods, seems to have most of the supermarket brands on to, so well worth a look

Whenever I find out the calorie count of a veg I stick it into a Word file:

Calories in 100g of:
Onions - 31
Tomatoes – 18
Mushrooms – 13
Broccoli – 31
Cauli - 31
Cucumb – 15
Peppers - 15
Cabbage – 15
Beetroot – 40
Carrots – 28
Tom puree – 96 (86)
Tomato passata - 22
Balsamic - 88
Strawberries - 28
Sugar – 401
Celery – 8
Tinned tomatoes (whole tin) – 76 (although I've just bought one that's 84 - and yesterday's was 111!)
Red kidney beans - 127
Stout and beer - 44
Red wine - 86
Lentils, uncooked – 360

But your suggestion is a good one!

Cheers, B&W

Another is My Fitness Pal. There are lots out there.

I think it was Moogie who posted this fab link the other day http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php

You can put in all the ingredients and how many servings and it breaks down calories per item and per portion. It's dead easy just to add, remove or replace one item in the recipe as well
