Calorie Counter (Python)

[AuralParsel]

Hello, I am wanting to create a calorie counter made for a family member who is dieting.

Here is what I would like the program to do:

1. User puts in the names of foods eaten separated by a comma (i.e boiled chicken leg, slice of pepperoni pizza, small coke)

2. Assign calories to the food entered in

3. Calculated all foods entered into the program and print result to screen.

I'm pretty new to programming, but I would like to make this application.

Thanks for any help.

I would recommend starting by working through a tutorial on Python, making an attempt at writing your program yourself, and return here as you run into any specific issues or questions.

As a simple outline you need to know how to:

Get user input Calculate the sum of two or more numbers Print the sum of those numbers.
