 An Introduction
This is by no means a complete guide to counting calories and similar measurements. It is merely added as a general guideline in helping one in planning out a healthful dietary schedule and aid in the preparation of foods by helping one judge the caloric total by the ingredients included in the recipe.  Bear in mind this method does not always render an precisely accurate total but it will serve as a means of acquiring a general idea.
