Using the website.

Where do I post the foods I eat, or do I just post the calories I take in at breakfast, lunch and supper? Also, I gather I must measure some of the products used, like cereal, milk, potatoes as well weigh meats. And what about fruit? Do I eat [1] peach, or [1] apple? What about pie. And what about eating out? How is that done? I have many questions as you can see.

I think "My Fitness Pal" may prove to be to my advantage, if I can get a handle on how to use the website, and how to measure my caloric intake.

Here's what that link says about how to log food:

Adding Food to Your Diary

Click the "My Home" tab, then the "Food" tab. This will take you to your Food Diary.

Choose the meal to which you'll be adding food, and click "Add Food" under that meal.

Type the name of the food you're looking for in the box to the left of the "Search" button. You can use keywords, like "turkey sandwich" or brand names. Then click "Search."

When the search results appear, click the item that represents the best match, and information for that item will appear on the right hand side. There, you can adjust the serving size and number of servings to reflect the amount you've eaten. For example, if you are having half of the standard serving size, change the number of servings from "1" to ".5". Finally click "Add"

The item will be added to your diary and the calories for the item will be deducted from your daily allowance. With each item you log, your list of recently for each meal category will update automatically, to make it easier to add your favorite foods quickly.

Many users (including me) weigh solids in grams on a food scale to measure how much of an item we are eating. Eating out is more of a guessing game so it's harder to be even close to accurate.
