Help with Vlookup

I have created a table with food items in a drop down list and I want to be able to select something from the list so that when entered it also puts in the calorie count of that item in an adjacent cell.  I have one table with columns Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all have dropdowns with the  list of foods  The adjacent column is for the calories.  I have another sheet which holds the list of foods with the calorie count in the adjacent cell.  Any ideas - please bear in mind I am very green with excel

      Brilliant thankyou so much.  Now another issue is how can I hide the N/A in cells with nothing in.  Ideally without losing formulas so eg.  If food item is clear then clear calorie cell
