Raw Food Calorie Counter??
Posted by: Anonymous User ()
Date: September 08, 2007 05:32PM

I apologize in advance as i have posted this in another catagory, seems a little more relevant to repost under this one.

I recently posted about my need to gain weight, and my limited knowledge of ingredients has made this tremendously difficult. I've been looking for a calorie counter which I could use to sum the calories of a given recipe so I can beeter manage my diet in order to maximixe my caloric intake. All of the calorie counters I have found online tend to have a very limited database, and most are geared towards franchise restaurants. Can anyone recommend a really good counter or reference guide/book which has the most complete library of ingredients? Especially RAW! Thanks for any advice or info!

Have you tried fitday, nutritiondata, nutridiary, and Cron-o-Meter. The first 3 are websites, and the last one is a Java application that runs on Windows/Macintosh/Linux, although on Windows, you'll need to follow the direction on how to download Java.

Thanks for the reply!

I have tried using nutritiondata, but some items had no raw listing. I'll take a look at the other three options for sure! Thanks again!

This USDA site (from usda.gov) also allows you to input food items to get a breakdown of ingredients. You don't get additional interpretations of your intake that may be available on some of the sites mentioned above.

MyPyramid Tracker at mypyramid.gov also allows you to keep up with your calories and other nutrients from your dietary intake.


Wishing you vibrant health
