It can be a: Challenge. One app i found makes it easier- netdiary. I think fitness pal may be another. Otherwise it's the rather tedious job of looking up calories of each food (& beverage) & adding them up. A dietician or certified nutritionist can help. Good work asking the questions! first step.
