Ok, can someone explain to me.........

What is Eurest? And why do they have entries for almost every food that I look up???

    It's a food service/cafeteria company (well, they do more than that, but that's why they're in the database).

    Yes, the cafeterias and catering services on my company's work sites are run by Eurest.

    My employer uses Eurest as well. Glad so much of their food is in the catalog! Hopefully it's accurate because I have no way of knowing.

    And many of the Eurest entries are non-asterisked, which leads me to believe whoever entered those food items had admin rights to create food items and should not have done that.

    My work has Eurest cafe, and I've logged a few things using the Eurest entry in MFP, and also logged by eyeballing the ingredients (because really, I'm not going to pick apart my salad they made for me and weigh/measure everything...) and they seem to come out pretty close most of the time. Cool. :) But even the thrown together salads or plates of food can vary greatly depending which of the cafeteria staff puts it together (there is one lady who is notorious for putting WAY TOO MUCH DRESSING on the salads - like, 1/2 cup on probably 4 cups of greens and another cup or so of other toppings. YUCK).

    Disgusting. I can't stand a lot of dressing on salad, I want to taste the salad. Thankfully, the salads here are either make your own or pre-packaged with dressing on the side.

    I ask for half a scoop of dressing (amounts to approx. 2 Tablespoons) and that's generally about right for me. I also like to eat my salad as a salad, not salad-soup. *shudder*
