Please no bashing, I just purchased a digital food scale over the weekend. I know there is calorie content on packaging , but how do I get calorie info from weighing food? Like say I weigh a banana , Apple, cucumber for example I get the weight info , but how do I find out the calorie info for that weight ? Does it make sense what I am asking? I feel
Dumb for asking because it's most likely common sense and who better to ask then all of you!

    In the data base look for the entry with grams. It helps to add USDA to the search - like bananas USDA - then look for the entry with grams - you might have to use the drop down menu to find the grams entry but there will be one there.
