count calories
Monitor food energy
To count calories is to track the energy content of food consumed, typically for weight management or health purposes.
Someone counting calories monitors their intake against a daily target: I've been counting calories since January.
The practice ranges from casual awareness to obsessive tracking, and has become easier with smartphone apps.
