Notes de l'éditeur
It’s really difficult to know !
As a default, you count your calories by food ingredients For example: 1 bagel = 300 calories ??? Cream cheese spread = ……. 2 slices of tomatoes =….
But then as a meal it gets more complex with a variety of ingredients For example: Saturday brunch contains Western omelet , hash brown potatoes a toast, fruit salad juice and coffee Or Make your own salad bar at the deli
Cobb salad, Thanksgiving meal (or family gathering meal), tuna melt sandwich, apple pie with ice cream/whipped cream and buffalo chicken
