CalorieLab a great site that actually give you the facts ojn how many calories are in the most popular foods that many people eat.

There’s also another feature that I really like. At CalorieLab you can find out the fatest States in the United States. For Example, Mississippi is the fatest State and has held that title for 3 years.
I’m from Alabama, which is also at the top of the list. Chitlins, hogjaw and fried chicken are favorite foods among southerners. No wonder their at the top of the list.

3 Fat Burning Diet Secrets
August 25, 2008
I recently got stuck in an airport due a delayed flight. But I didn’t end up
eating junk food. In fact, I have a SECRET that can help you avoid cheating
on your diet.
First, you have to be prepared. In fact, here are my meals from that day. My
brunch included an omelet with vegetables, some grilled fish & peppers,
fruit (pineapple, raspberries, blueberries, watermelon), and a V8.
A late lunch included a grilled chicken salad (2 breasts), jimaca, salsa,
black beans, avocado (I substituted the salsa for the dressing). NOTE: Lunch
was eaten at a Mexican restaurant. I said “no thanks” to the chips and
salsa. So there you go, proof that you can eat healthy when you eat out.
My snacks at the airport included raw cashews, red delicious apple, raw
almonds, as well as a banana and more almonds later on my flight.
Without my preparation, I would have been outta luck, and stuck eating M&M’s
(the peanut kind, of course) and greasy take out food at the airport. So
what’s the secret? Accountability.
I’ve committed to telling the world about my diet and workouts, so I can’t
set a bad example or break my promise to you by eating junk food.
I’m holding myself accountable to you. By doing this, I’m going to be more
focused on eating healthier than ever, because I don’t want to have to
report to YOU that I’m cheating on my diet.
I also need to eat well and research the best options so that I can pass
along little insider nutrition tips to you, such as these tips.
1) Most people don’t know that the peanut butter they feed their kids (&
themselves!) is filled with two of the nastiest ingredients in the world,
and those are Trans fats (the “bad” kind of fat) and sugar. So you should
choose Peanut Butter that contains JUST peanuts as the one and only
ingredient.
2) My favorite canned food is Amy’s Organic Chili. I usually stick with
Medium, but sometimes I go spicy.
3) I add a little of Mrs. Renfro’s Organic Salsa to almost every meal I eat.
A little bit with my morning omelet, a little with my chili at lunch, and a
little with my BBQ chicken at night.
By the way, you should follow my lead and start posting your daily diet and
exercise somewhere for someone who is holding you accountable.
For many people, being ACCOUNTABLE to others is their #1 way to stay
motivated and on-track with their diet and exercise program.
You see, I’m committing to you that I’m going to post all of my meals each
day, showing you how to eat fast, nutritious foods even when you are
traveling or really busy. Accountability is one of the major MOTIVATION
SECRETS to success.
