Desserts... The desserts listed on following pages may provide many of the same nutrients as are provided by foods in the major food groups. For example, cake, like bread, contains flour (from the breads and cereals group) and the nutrients flour furnishes, and ice cream contains milk and the nutrients milk furnishes. But cake and ice cream also contain fat and sugar and the calories they furnish.

Fats, sweets, and alcoholic beverages... Foods in this group provide few nutrients along with their calories. These are "extras" in the diet - the place to cut calories first. The calorie contents of these foods are listed in following pages.

CALORIE TABLE

The Calorie Table is organized into sections by food group to make it easier to compare similar types of foods. Sections for foods that are combinations of several food groups - mixed main dishes and fast food entrees; soups; and desserts, snack foods, and candy - are also included. If you're not sure where to find a food, look in the index.

All calorie values in the table were rounded to the nearest 5 calories. The portion sizes listed in the table are in common household units or in pieces of a specified size. All portion sizes are for level measures. To help you judge the size of 3 ounces of meat or poultry, sketches are shown . The portion size shown may not be the amount that you eat. If you choose larger or smaller portions than listed, increase or decrease the calorie counts accordingly. The calorie value for a food item does not include calories from any added fat, sugars, sauce, or dressing unless listed with the item.
