Can't count calories correctly

I am having a huge problem counting calories. I live at home with my parents and siblings.
The problem I am having is that there have been family issues recently (deaths) and relatives want to keep taking us out to dinner and catching up.
Which is cool, problem being the restaurants that they pick end up having NO calorie counts in their menus or online.
Or even worst people invite us over and they have food already made.
Not sure what to do about this, when I cook I have measuring cups and even an oz scale always handy.
I try and over count, so that way I won't go over my goal, but I dearly love being accurate.

I have found there's a lot more people who know about my fitness pal than I thought. When I have eaten out the wait staff were always helpful and knew just what I needed and why. I don't feel bad about asking for the nutritional info either cause this is who I am!
Good luck and sorry to hear about your loss0
