Calorie counter.
Type a food, choose the amount, add it to today. Everyday foods from around the world plus every Yams Cooking recipe, with calories, protein, carbs and fat. Your day is saved on this device.
Values are approximate averages per 100 g (USDA FoodData Central and typical label data) and per usual serving. Cooked dishes vary with the recipe — Yams Cooking recipes use the per-serving estimate shown on each recipe page. General guidance only, not medical advice.
How many calories do I need?
Work out roughly what your body uses in a day, then send it straight to your target above.
An estimate from the Mifflin–St Jeor equation, which is what most calculators use. Real needs vary with body composition, health and medication, so treat this as a starting point rather than a prescription, and speak to a doctor or dietitian before making a big change.
