CALORIE CHART

FOR HEALTHY FOOD

Looking for a great calorie chart? This common-sense food calorie chart is focused on healthy foods with maximum nutrition and minimum calories.

But the calories on packaged foods can only be estimated. All packaged foods (healthy or not) contain the calorie count for a "portion" of that specific food on the label. For example, a serving of tuna or a slice of bread will be printed on the package.

Just make sure you're clear about the "portion" size - often they're tiny.
