The usual searches produce lots of lists of calories for fresh vegetables and fruit but none are very accurate. I’m looking for something that lists calories per 100 gms or a similar unit. I’ve done many internet searches all that I can find say things like calories for three medium sized carrots, or a medium head of broccoli or even 32 florets of cauliflower, these units are not accurate or scientific enough when you are trying to measure out 500 and 600 calories as we are. I suspect that they use vague units because their confidence is low.

Does anyone know where we can get a list of calories by weight? We are quite willing to pay for such a list if it can be found in some sort of professional publication.

Thanks, but I’m really looking for a list by weight, not cups and not a website where we have to click several times to look up one item, that is why we find a good old fashioned piece of paper very attractive. With some of the things that we eat we may have just 18 or 27 gms. We usually have at least six different vegetables at each meal so we don’t really want to have to go on any website that many times. In Australia we’ve been on metric since the mid sixties but we still remember ounces so could use them by converting the numbers. We do have a scientific scale which is accurate to a fraction of a gram.

I got warning from W.O.T. (Web of Trust), that the site “Fitday.com” has a very poor reputation based on user ratings; it was rated RED, the most dangerous in every category. I could not find a list of calories, every link that I clicked on was trying to get me to sign up for something, none of the pages that I was taken to had anything to do with the links that I clicked on.

I have since found the following:

“FitDay also offers an affiliate program wherein one can generate revenue by posting links of Fitday’s top selling diet and fitness software on his website. Every time someone clicks on one of the links and purchases FitDay, Fitday will pay the referral”.

Many thanks Vicki, yours seems to be the best suggestion, I’ll have a look for the book, it probably gives just what I want.

Thanks also for all the other suggestions but they involve googling and other searches for each individual item on websites, this is exactly what I’m trying to avoid. I’m just looking for a simple list something like a list of vegetables in one column with the number of calories per 100gms (or something weight unit), in the next column. Such a list would be very easy to look up the information that I want without having to turn the computer on then doing a lot of clicking and searching to find one individual item then repeating the process about five times for the other items. I really do want to avoid having to use a computer.
