Is there anybody can provide me a list that shows how much calories is the food or drinks contain?

Answer 1

I have used this website and it is very helpful. It has name brands as well as fast food places. I searched all over the internet and this is the best website I have found!

Hello Kelly,
You can try contacting your local chapter of the Canadian Diabetic Association/American Diabetic Association for information on calorie-counting. As a diabetic, I have been told, inthe last couple of years, that counting carbohydrates, not calories, is a better system for diet management. Here is a sample daily meal planyou may also find useful:

Breakfast:

Cold cereal (1⁄2 cup, 125 mL)

Toast (1 slice)

1 Orange

Low fat milk (1 cup, 250 mL)

Peanut butter (2 tbsp, 30 mL)

Tea or coffee

Lunch:

1 Sandwich

- 2 slices of whole grain bread or 6" pita

- meat, chicken or fish (2 oz, 60 g)

- non-hydrogenated margarine or butter (1 tsp, 5 mL)

Carrot sticks

Low fat plain yogurt, (3⁄4 cup, 175 mL)

Tea or coffee

Dinner:

Potato (1 medium) or rice (2⁄3 cup, 150 mL)

Vegetables

Non-hydrogenated margarine or butter (1 tsp, 5 mL)

Lean meat, chicken, or fish (2 oz, 60 g)

Cantaloupe (1 cup, 250 mL)

Low fat milk (1 cup, 250 mL)

Tea or coffee

Evening Snack:

Low fat cheese (1oz, 30 g)

Whole-grain crackers (4)

Hope This Helps!
