calorie count

Food energy total

Calorie count is the total number of calories in a food item or meal, typically listed on nutrition labels or restaurant menus.

People track calorie counts for weight management or health monitoring: I check the calorie count before ordering.

The phrase also refers to the practice itself: She's been doing a calorie count for the past month.
