    Hi and welcome to MFP!

    Use the food journal that they provide for you here...that's a good way to monitor all your carbs, calories and fats.

    I also use the exercise journal; it keeps track of how much I've burned for the day, and will give me weekly/monthly reports on my nutrition, progress and fitness.

    If you want to know exactly how much calories you are burning, you might want to look into a heart rate monitor. Otherwise, you can use general estimates provided in the exercise journal to help you determine how many calories you burn (or if you are a gym go-er or have treadmill, you can use that).
