I go to a website that I saw listed here....calorieking.com and it is wonderful! It will give you the breakdown of 1000's of different foods, and also includes many, many restaurants as well!

Just for starters, one cup of milk and yogurt has 8 grams, 1 ounce of meat has 7 grams. That's from my nutritionist. :)

I agree with Ann. FitDay.com has helped me so much! You plug in what you ate, how much of it, and it keeps track of what all you have eaten broken down into calories, carbs, fat & protein. I love the pie chart that shows me how much protein I've eaten. Give it a shot! :o)

I bought a booklet of protein counts at a bookstore. It also lists calories, carbs and fats. It was cheap and always nearby when I am out or not near the computer.

A general rule of thumb is that for every ounce of protein (in volume) you eat you take in 7 grams. Fish and seafood have around 25-35 calories/oz. Chicken and lean pork have about 35-45 calories/oz, and beef around 45-60 calories/oz. Eggs are about 70 calories (they usually are 1 1/2 to 2 oz each) and cheese is about 70 calories/oz. Hope this helps.
