We're not nutritionists but we do pay attention to what's in the things we cook and eat. The good news is that there are lots of nutrition experts out there offering both advice and easy-to-use calculators to figure out the caloric damage of what we're eating. Here are just a few:

The Food and Nutrition Information Center of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These are the folks who brought us the goofy "My Pyramid" as a way to explain how to make good daily dietary choices. Forgive them for that and use their extensive database of articles and information.

A site run by CondeNet, Inc., one of the Conde Nast Publications companies. Includes calorie calculators for the foods served at many of the branded fast food restaurants, which of course, none of us eat. Even better, the site has nutritional calculators that let you manage, with knowledge, what you're eating every day.

The popular magazine's web site has a rich and diverse selection of articles about what we eat, including opinions on popular diets.
