Nithya:
Calculate your calorie intake. Know your calorie value of common cooked food. A rough idea
* Any fried item(Sweet or Salty): Multiply weight by 6-7 calorie e.g. Samosa 100-150 grams x 6-7 calorie = 600-1000 calorie which is equal to one complete meal.
* Normal cooked item: Multiply the weight of item by 3-4 calorie e.g. one roti, 30gram x 4=120gram.
* Common Cold drinks: 50-200 cal/100 ml.
* Calorie requirement: Calculate your calorie requirements also. You require roughly 1cal/min for your basic requirements. Add 1cal/min for normal activity time such as household activity 3-5cal/min, for very active exercise such as running or gym. To loose 1kg/week weight you need to have a daily deficity of 500 calorie or more.
