ISO: Looking for a PR calorie counter

Misc.
Hi Gladys! I was wondering if you could perhaps help me. I am a New York-quino born and raised with typical PR strong family ties. Was trying to find the calorie and nutrition value of Arroz con Gandules when I ran into your recipe.

My mother is still alive and I visit with her every week and of course, as is customary, she embellishes me with her fine Puerto Rican cooking when I go there...she'll have it no other way and I love it. But I'm 57 years old and I'm having problems maintaining my...eh, eh...Adonis type manly figure .

In attempting to maintain good health and fitness I've started to exercise and calorie count. Problem is, I can't find a calorie counter that recognizes Puerto Rican foods and recipes. I've searched through the internet to no avail. Perhaps you would know where I might find such a counter.

Thanks so much for your help
Angelo
