I recommend just weighing everything when you cook, looking up the calories online and adding them up in a notebook – that's what I did anyway, very easy. You quickly learn what your normal portions are in kcal (like 100g of rice or pasta uncooked = 350kcal, 1 medium banana = 100kcal, 1 medium apple = 50kcal and so on) and then it's even easier to count. I never write anything down these days, easy to keep count in my head.

I feel like these last few years the needle has shifted so far into the carbs-during-ride side that people have forgotten the part that counts much more, the carb loading (carbs during are also important, but more for recovery for next rides)
