Welcome!
The key to any effective weight loss program is (much to the chagrin of most people)… diet and nutrition.
That doesn’t mean you can’t eat good food and get lean!
You just need to count your calories.
And while having an app that assists you in doing that can be helpful, I’ve personally never found them necessary. They can be a little hard to use, time-consuming, and clunky.
Wait! for that, you should know how to count calories that are present in food items and from which type of macros they are coming. Because it is very important to track your daily calories and macros to hit your goal otherwise you will never know what you are eating and how much.

| Counting Calories |
So today I am going to explain to you the simplest method to track calories in your food items to get the best nutritional value of it. But yeah without the help of any calorie-tracking apps like myfitnesspal OR HEALTHIFYME. These apps are very popular nowadays as they claim to measure the exact calories present in the food items as well as recipes too. But you should think that everyone cooks in a different way and in different quantity so, how can be the calories will remain same for everyone? It cannot be the the same.

| Tracking apps |
Of course, those apps can tell you the approximate value of raw foods like rice, wheat, milk, cheese, etc. but not of recipes like paneer tikka, dal makhani, etc. Because everyone has different ways to prepare the same recipe according to their taste and place. So, you can't totally depend on those apps. So what is the best way to calculate the calories of any food items?
Don't worry that is only what I am going to share with you today. So let's begin :
To count calories, you must have a small weighing scale that. Don't worry this small investment will be totally worth it. Having a small weighing scale will help you to measure the quantity of food you are eating.

Now how to use it properly, suppose you are going to make rice for your lunch and you want to eat only 250 calories, so weighing scale will help you to measure how much rice you should take so that it becomes 250 calories. let's say 100-gram uncooked rice contains 250 calories(eg. you will measure from calorie charts) then you will take 100 grams only with the help of a weighing scale. This method will help you to track the exact amount of food you eat.
If you make a dish or recipes like Shahi paneer(cheese) or something else, then in this case you can't measure the whole recipe for counting the calories of it because many ingredients are added to prepare that. So you need to calculate the calories of each and every ingredient separately eg. you measure how much paneer(cheese) should be there, how much oil you are going to use to cook it. These all you will do with the help of a weighing scale and calorie chart.
Muscle Building and Fat Loss are the most common goal of every individual so you just need to track your calories to reach your goals. This method will help you to track the calories in the best possible way and simplest way. If you want the calorie chart then I will give the link or pdf of it below this article so you don't face trouble finding it.
