Hi Kim,
There are several places you can look...the American Dietetic Association and the American Heart Association both have a lot of information regarding heart healthy diets. Here is also a link for a heart healthy eating.
To get calories of the foods that appear on your menu, try MyPyramid.gov. Within a few links, you can find a site (you have to subscribe but it's free) that will allow you enter in menus and get nutrition information back. There is a menu planner and tracker link on the sidebar of the main website. Click on them, subscribe, and you are good to go.
Good luck with your project,
Monica M. Skidmore, MS, RD, LDN
