k well lately i've been telling my mom to cook meats and chicken everyday for me and ive gained a clean 7 pounds so far. i haven't been counting calories but now i feel like i should be counting calories to make sure i'm gaining at a steady pace.
so basically since my mom cooks me a lot of food now how am i supposed to know how many calories are in it. same with buying food from fast food and stuff. is there a good way to estimate how many calories are in a piece of food or meal

For example my mother did a casserole with artichokes, white sauce and chicken breasts
I asked her the ingredients she used, so it was in this meal:
2 pounds artichokes (180 calories)
2 pounds chicken breast (1100 calories)
16oz milk (245 calories)
1 oz flour (210 calories)
1 oz butter (100 calories)
3 oz parmesan cheese (318 calories)
So you could either sum both calories and weights and weigh your portion (2153 calorie and 3 pounds and 5 oz) or you could just figure out your portion from the shape of the cooking pan. Like my portion was 1/6 of the total, so 358 calories... more or less
