    @Sebani if you HAVE to eat out, I recommend maybe trying to be more accurate with it. For instance, only go to restaurants where they post their calories and nutrition online (Applebees, Denny's, fast food, etc. for example). OR see if you can choose diners that serve breakfast 24-hours a day. 2 eggs, toast and butter is a little easier to enter correctly into your food log (though always always always add a ton more butter to your log, since it's likely on everything). 3 egg omelets are reasonably easy to log in the region of accuracy (again, overestimate cheese and butter).

    Sorry I've been at work. I do have a food scale so everything that isn't quick adds are almost always measured out. That includes the steaks, salmon and fruits I've been logging.

    Yes the quick adds are when I eat out, but I'm asian and asian restaurants don't provide calorie info. How do you guys manage to have a life while doing this? My friends/fam almost always eat out which is why there are so many quick adds...

    Yeah 400 cal is nothing in fast food cal counting... I mean Applebees advertises "lite" dishes as anything under 500 and they are petite. I would agree with an above poster that you need to try a week not eating out. It sucks but eating out won't give you the results you want.
