hey guys, i eat a LOT, and i eat a clean diet, never really bothered trying to find out how many calories i comsume tho, i know i eat a lot more than the average person but im curious to know my daily calorie intake, how do you go about finding out?

is there like a website which tells you roughly how many kcals in certain foods etc?

There are plenty of websites on Google that can help out mate

k mate i'll have a look just wondered if there was a specific way any of you go about it

 

[vitty]

if you search on google calorie calculator or something liek that, it will come up with how much you should be eating to gain and the rough estimate for day to day foods...

There's plenty of sites, i like www.sparkpeople.com but there is fitday.co.uk and mydailyplate.co.uk I think as well off the top of my head.

1 g of fat = 9 calories

1g of carbs = 4 calories

1g of protein = 4 calories

Hope that helps mate x

1g fibre = 2kcal

1g alcohol - 7kcal

Looking on the back of the food packet also helps?

ye did that for a lot of stuff, but some tins of fish like herring etc dont say kcals, and i buy all my chicken cheap in bulk, no packets,

all sorted now tho, clean eating just solid foods im getting 2800+ kcals, plus i got 1000 worth of shakes to add, so not too bad, im only just 13st so that should be enough to grow on

dailyburn.com is totally amazing. I'm sure i'll get flamed, but the free tools on the rip off maximuscle site are ok as a guide..
