Calculating Calories Eating/Losing?

I am so new to weight loss and calorie counting. How do you calculate what you are losing? I walk. I dance. I'm doing the 30 day shred. We swim. We hike. How do I guage the amount of calories I'm losing with each activity?
Also for food. We raise a lot of our own food. Venison, Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey, eggs, milk, veggies and fruits....it's all farm raised or wild. How do I guage calories in food?

the food section tells you how many calories are in your foods automatically! so does the exercise section0

If I look up some of the same foods online though I get different results. Same with Exercise. If I look up how much I lose walking, it's usually less or more than mfp says.0

Most foods are estimations of the calories. It just gives you a general idea of what you put in your body. Choose the food choices which you think is the closest to what you ate. Same with exercises. It also helps to read other sources of information like from livestrong.com and nutritiondata.self.com.0
