Your Calorie Counter | Healthmad

When you are counting calories it’s good to have a counter at hand. If you are interested in the number of calories you eat ,you might want to make a couple of copies to have handy when you are food shopping, preparing a meal or when you go out to eat. Sometimes the number of calories in a serving is a total surprise. I didn’t include veggies because they are low in calories unless served in rich sauce, which add on the calories fast. Also if we choose to eat rich desserts we know what we’re getting into. Happy calorie counting to you and yours.
