Hi

I try to eat around 1500 calories a day and then input all the info into a tracker. However I can't find the calories for my favourite thai meals does anyone know the calories in an average portion of any of these?:

chicken green curry

chicken red curry

chicken penang curry

chicken Massaman

chicken cashew nuts

steamed lemon fish

fried fish in 3 spices

chicken pat thai

fried rice with chicken

fried morning glory

papaya salad

Meiji strawberry yogurt

Any suggestions or a link to a website listing thai foods would be great. Thanks for your help.

The problem I see with trying to pin down how many calories in these foods will depends alot on who is doing the cooking. What kind of oils they are using, how much coconut milk (fattening) what cut of meat (lean or fatty) to get a real indication of calorific value.

I know the weightwatchers site has some thai food calculations, not sure if you have to join up though to see it though.

Hi, Slinky, I am going to move this to the Thai food forum, the foodies tend to hang out there and might have a better idea. Another suggestion is the I'm too fat forum (not suggesting you are fat but the dieters hang out there)

I think the problem you have, even with a short list of dishes like that, is that it's a bit like asking ''How many calories are in breakfast?''

It kinda depends. Nothing vs slice of toast (no butter), black coffee and OJ vs fried eggs, sausages, bacon, black pudding, fried toms, baked beans, fried slice (x2), 1lb lard, etc., etc.

I think the only way you can be sure(ish) is to cook your own food.

PS The yoghurt has it written on the side.

I've been using this site for 2 years now and found it extremely informative.

I cook my own Thaifood and use many calorie short cuts, more veg, less and better oil for stir frying, plenty of sliced cucumber on the side....
