The USDA nutritional database is available online. You can also buy
a pocket guide that has the most common foods listed and is a quick,
handy reference.
With most standard recipes you have to learn how to substitute to make
them LC. For example, if the recipe uses corn starch or flour for
thickening, you substitute a LC one, like xanthan gum. For simplicity
and to get started quickly, it may be better to buy a LC cookbook.
There are many available.
