I've long been an advocate of
counting calories to lose weight and have lost the most weight over the years by keeping a journal and writing down everything that passes my lips.
Hop on over to
Shawn Tyler Weeks' blog to see how he lost over 200 pounds by counting calories
here.
He recommends
My Fitness Pal to calculate calories burned.

One of the books I like to use to calculate calories in food is the
Calorie King book. Another great site is
Dottie's Weight Loss Zone. This is especially good for calculating calories in restaurant meals.
