Record and track your caloric intake
with Nutritionix or Macrofactor.
Use a reliable and accurate nutrition tracking app (nutritionix.com/app) and/or use a reliable food database (nutritionix.com/database).
Note: I am not affiliated with, sponsored by, or receiving royalties from Nutritionix, I just use and highly value their tools because of its excellent food database, accurate nutritional info, and very user-friendly platform.
I can also recommend some alternatives. The FatSecret app is also very good with similar functionality to Nutritionix. And, if you are specifically interested in thorough micronutrient tracking, Cronometer is also superb.
