This FatSecret program didn't let me in to begin tracking calories, etc., until after 7pm tonight, 1/28/14, after dinner time. SO, I will, and look forward to, start inputting my food, calories, and other information starting tomorrow - Wed., 1/29/14. :-)  

It's hard to find out how many calories, fat, sugar, etc., are in food that are cooked at restaurants. Even the meals I cook at home. For instance, I cooked a pound of hamburger with enchilada sauce and four-cheese pre-shredded mexican cheese, and spanish rice and ate a whole small avocado for the protein (and I love them) with 2.5 cups of water. AFTER I cooked dinner and ate it, it dawned on me - how in the heck am I suppose to count all of these 6 categories in what I just cooked and ate? Good news is - tomorrow is the first day I start inputting my food details the 6 categories. But still not sure how this will work when cooking a meal for the whole family! (?). Please share any tips - I hope I don't have to measure and use a calculator to determine my portion, if possible. :-
