That is what this FREE site is built for.. not what the forum is built for
Use the database like the other poster said. Good Luck!0 -
Is your glass 8 oz? or larger? How much salad and various items are on your plate? was it a salad plate or a dinner plate? These things make a difference. To find the proper amount of calories you're going to have to weigh or at least measure each item and log them individually.0

None, lettuce and orange are negative calorie foods.0

None, lettuce and orange are negative calorie foods.
And that is why you will never see a fat rabbit... erm... then again...

When I have a salad I get my plate on the scales and watch the amounts as I add the ingredients then just add individually to my diary - like today I have had 60g lettuce, 1 tomato, 60g tuna, 15g light salad cream - very low on calories but it's the only way you are really going to do it and if it's something you have regulalry it will get saved.
As for your orange juice, again you should be able to search for juice of orange or something similar0 -
i know its a pain in the *kitten* but if you enter everything seperately once then you can save it as a meal and use it again.0

Am I the only one wondering why you'd need to put sweetener in orange juice?0

The only way to know what calories are in your food is to weigh it and input the info using the MFP database. Simple!
...and negative calorie food is a myth (which is why bunnies don't starve)0 -
How is lettuce a negative calorie food - I just had some today and added to my diary and it said it had calories? I am sure that was a "tongue in cheek" comment. Yes, there are a few calories in salad. 0

actually there is...per se. Every food item has calories but as you know our body naturally burns calories on a daily basis. With low calorie foods like lettuce, cucumbers, celery....the amount of energy it takes to chew and digest the food, turns it into a "negative" calorie. It takes more energy to burn said food then the calories in the food itself....0 -

NO NO Just NO
Calories wasted in extracting nutrients are already considered in calculating the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). TEF usually wastes about 10% of calories, but for some foods, the TEF can reach 20%. Still, that means a 10-calorie stalk of celery wastes 2 calories to deliver 8.0 -
