i went to the HPB (Health Promotion Board) again and found this really cool calorie calculator.
it is really simple, just first key in your weight, gender and age, then it will direct you to 2 more questions, the first one being: Job nature; what type of job you do, and if it is a light, moderate or heavy activity job. the second question is: Physical activity level; how much you exercise in a week. then it will tabulate and show you the amount of calories you need in a day. and they will say " this is the amount of calories needed to maintain your current weight."
and one bad thing about this: it doesn't include my age group! it only begins at 18, where i guess most of the growth spurt is finished.
Still, it gives us a rough gauge and we can search online for the various amounts of calorie in different food. then determine the amount we need to consume. Not for food analysis, just for a rough idea...
