Okay, went to applebees for lunch - got a brunch burger no meat or bacon . Easy enough , except I cannot find any matches for it . No help from the nutritional information online , nothing in MFP, no general info from Google . Stumped . Even tried to log the food separate - the bun, the cheese , etc..how can log the accurate calories if I can't find it? Suggestions ?

    You could try subtracting the meat and bacon from the online data, but that's a fairly off-piste item so good luck !

    It's really difficult to figure out when you make changes to restaurant foods like that since they don't list the components of the meal individually. This one time, I would just make your best guesses as to the meat and bacon and then subtract that from the online nutrition information.

    In the future, I highly recommend looking at the menu ahead of time and choosing a menu item as is that fits into your meal plan so that you don't have to deal with this situation again.

    Good luck!
