Quick and Dirty!
I was working on the Microsoft Live Search team and saw this way to get a quick estimate of the number of calories (amount of fiber, etc.) in a food. Needless to say, this is VERY ROUGH and quality varies from one food to another. Give it a try and see how much you can make it work for you.
