    You find whatever food you're eating in the database and add it to whatever meal it is in your diary. The items in the database have calories assigned by various servings. Cross check your entries with the packaging on your food for accuracy as the database is crowdsourced so there are many wrong entries or entries that are a particular users "recipe" or whatever. Avoid using generic entries like "lasagna" or whatever...those are some users particular recipe and may not be even close to your lasagna.

    This is all a bit of trial and error and exploration...pretty much nobody gets it down right from the go...you just have to play around with it.
