Food - Calorie Counter

Before starting any diet plan, you need to have a general idea of how many calories you can consume each day to at least maintain the weight you have (this is the baseline). More calories than the baseline will end up in weight gain. Less calories than the baseline will end up in weight loss. Pretty simple. Use Mayo Clinic's Calorie Counter Tool - Input your age, current weight, height, and activity level and see what your baseline calorie count should be.
