Hi, is it just me or does anyone else have problems working out how many calories are in things? When I'm doing my food diary and I type in something a range of options come up all pretty much the same, but when I look at them the calorie totals are all different.. for example, today I had a golden delicious apple..i looked it up and one said it was 36 calories, and another said it was 85!! How do I know when its right? Or am I doing it wrong?? Help anyone??

Thanks x

    The best option for your apple is to weigh the portion that you eat and then use an entry from the usda list for a golden delicious apple.

    I do my best to get it right but when in doubt go with the higher option just in case. That's what I do
