Healthy Food Calorie Chart

Looking for a great food calorie chart? Here is one.

In fact, fasting for weight loss does NOT require calorie counting.

WHY?

Let say you choose to do flexible short-term intermittent fasting and you have two sessions of 24-hour fasting windows in a week. You are taking away eight days of food consumption from your monthly total diet. How many calories are there? Not to mention the natural fat burning process ongoing in your body while you fast. Does this explain why calorie counting is not important if you are fasting to lose weight?

This website is however created for health conscious individuals. I have therefore assembled a short list of food calorie chart only for healthy foods with maximum nutrition and minimum calories.

Note: All packaged foods (healthy or not) contain the calorie count for a "portion" on the label. Be sure you're clear about the label "portion" size (often quite tiny), and compare the food calorie chart with label calories.

What About Fast Food?
Fast food is generally regarded as less healthy, though often unavoidable in our daily eating. Washington Post has published a food calorie chart which contains calorie information on most of the foods available at famous fast food restaurants.

At McDonald's, I've noticed that this combination looks quite healthy: Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken (200), a Baked Apple Pie (250) and a medium classic Coke (210) sum up to 660 calories only.

Also grilled chicken usually carries less calories than crispy chicken. You may also want to keep this in mind.

As for KFC, a Corn on the Cob 5.5” (150), 2 pieces of Original Recipe Drumsticks (280) and a medium Pepsi (180) sum up to 510 calories only. Quite a relatively healthy combination.
