Food Calorie Calculator
Your food intake calories can be simply calculated by using an Exchange system. Foods in exchange lists are grouped together because they have similar amounts of nutrients - calories, carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. A food item on the exchange list can be exchanged or substituted for any other food on the same exchange list.
