Counting Calories

It isn't the easiest thing to count calories but it is important to know what you are putting into your body.  I have learned to read labels.  I read them on everything.  I have often put items back on the shelf after reading the label. For items such as fruits, veggies, and anything homemade I use a couple great websites.  For recipes go here.   For fruits and veggies or any other food go here. You can type any food, even brand name into the search and specify the amount. Good Luck with learning more about what you are eating.  Remember thought that you need good healthy calories not empty calories.  Make sure you are getting enough fiber, whole grains and eating all the colors of the rainbow.  Also drink your water, at least 10 cups!
