Try this website http://www.nutritiondata.com/. Not only does it have a wealth of nutritional information and tips but it also has a wonderful search feature. To use the feature you type in the name of the food you're interested in and it will give you all the nutritional data you could ever want to know!

It takes a little time, but it's not that hard. First you need to read the labels of all the ingredients. Write down how many calories per serving and multiply how many servings were used in the recipe. For example, 50 calories per serving and 2.5 servings were used, then the whole dish contains 125 calories of that ingredient. Do this for everything in the recipe and then add up all the totals. Then divide that number by how many servings the recipe makes.

I'm not sure how to find out how many calories are in non-labeled food such as fruits & veggies. But I hope this helps you.

Just do a grand total of all the calories in your recipes and divide by the number of servings. A great website for non-labeled food (i.e.- vegetables) is CalorieKing.com
