Food Calories List
Tracking your calories can lead to helping control your weight.
It's a type of "budgeting". But is there some way of simplifying the
whole process? Today, we break down the foods you eat into simple,
exchangeable
groups.
Simplifying the Food Calories List
Those who follow the Slim for Life Program have unlimited access to the
Slim for Life ™ Recommended Daily Allowance Database which lists every type of food you can
imagine along with the amount of energy contained in each food. Not

here.
One of the easiest ways to keep track of what you consume, is to think of
food as energy parcels. Each parcel of food contains the same
amount of calories, regardless of what the food actually is.
Therefore, you can interchange any of these foods with any other from the
same group.
Let's look at some examples.
