Logging accurately on MFP

Hfeff

I want to log accurately but on MFP when I type in something generic so many things come up I am not sure which is correct. For instance, I had a greek salad with grilled chicken from a diner. I dipped my fork in the dressing rather than pour it on so I didn't use that much. When I type it into MFP I get all these different entries from restaurants and food stores. I don't know which is most like a diner salad. Any suggestions?

It can be a bit tricky with restaurants. What I usually do if they don't have any nutrition info available is pick the closest thing I can find. My advise is to find a place that has a similar item on the web and compare what you had with it. (A lot of places will have images of their dishes - I compare this way if need be) you're not going to get 100% accurate, just try your best and move on.

Hope this helps!
