How do you know your calorie intake?

Sure we do but why should we tell you? It's a big ole secret.

Calorie intake=what you eat and drink all day, calorie expenditure is what your body burns in a day, that's a little more complicated to figure out but still possible.

OP, do you mean how do you know how much you should be eating for safe and sustainable weight loss?

This is full of great info:

This seems like a trick question...

All you can do here is make your best guess. Find something similar in the database. The usual suspects....Panera, Starbucks, Wal-Mart....look for something that's the same size. This won't be exact, but it can be a good ballpark.

Wondering if the OP is asking how to determine what calorie intake *should* be ..

If that's the case, OP .. http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=What+should+my+calorie+intake+be

Yes, I'm looking for more clarification on how many calories one should be eating. I'm assuming it is different for everyone based on height,age, activity level,etc

If you enter your stats and goals into MFP, it will generate a calorie goal for you.

If only there was an app/website that calculated that for you, then allowed you to log your food so you can tell how many calories you're eating daily. If only.

Yep! OP you are on the very website that does everything you're asking for
