Confused on calorie count
My husband made homemade chili with ground beef, kidney beans, pinto beans, tomatoes, etc. One calorie count I got for that off MFP said there were 500 calories in ONE cup! Today I clicked on a different one and it was only 200 calories for a bowl. How do I know how many calories I am REALLY consuming?
