How do you keep track of calories?

So my last post, I was talking about how I binged on some things and felt bad.. Well most said "If it's not over your daily calorie intake, then it's fine." Well my question is how do I find out what my calorie intake should be? And most people say keep a journal to write what you eat and cals down, does that mean I have to write EVERYTHING down including fruits and veggies?

Thank you guys, you all are very nice to a newbie like me :).

    I use the food tracker on her. It is a great tool.

    MFP will tell you how many calories you should be consuming. I think you need to go to MY HOME then find settings I think. There you put in your height, weight, daily activity. Yes, you have to input everything you eat into the food tracker. Use Exercise tracker for your exercise. You should have done this when you created the account.

    You can do what you want but I log everything I eat because if it has calories it counts. The goal is the make that change and until you can do that on your own I would say log everything that's what the site is for. Because to lose weight you need to know about how many calories you are eating.

    Best of luck to you, stay with it :)

    uber newbie alert! OP...that's what MFP is all about. These forums are just a little icing on our calorie tracking cake, so to speak.

    OP you are on a food tracking site. I'm really surprised you haven't noticed.

    Yes, log everything. Even fruits and vegetables. I ate over 300 calories in fruits and vegetables yesterday. If something has calories, and you eat it, then put it in your log. To find out how many calories you should be eating go to My Home, Goals, and do the guided walk through. You should have already done that when you set up your account but just in case.

    i wish there was a website and/or app that would allow me to track calories. and if it had a huge database of different foods would be great.

    You can do what you want but I log everything I eat because if it has calories it counts. The goal is the make that change and until you can do that on your own I would say log everything that's what the site is for. Because to lose weight you need to know about how many calories you are eating.

    Best of luck to you, stay with it :)

    I go one further than that. I even log zero-calorie foods like diet soda because they often have sodium, potassium, or other micro-nutrients.

    ^this

    That would be so awesome. I'd record everything I ate in it.

    But alas, 'tis only a dream.
