Restaurant/Fast Food Weights

If you have the serving size in grams for a fast food or restaurant item, do you log it as the actual weight or the weight that it is listed as on the nutritional menu? For example, if the serving size for fries is listed as 200 g but you only receive 150 g. Just wondering what others do!

I generally don't order fast food and then weigh it.0

Well if I could weigh it, I'd log the amount I got. But I don't typically take my scale when I go out, so...0

I'm guessing you got it to go and weighed it at home? If so, I'd go with the weight.0

I'd ask the restaurant why I only received 75% of what I paid for!!!0

I have a little pocket scale that has a flip up cover and is about the size of a deck of cards. It fits perfectly in my purse, so if I ordered fries or anything where actual amounts/sizes varied, I would weigh it.0

I eat a lot of fast food and I always just go by whatever the restaurant website gives for calories, per serving. I've never had issues with restaurant portion sizes being wrong to the point of where it makes any difference, and I've lost 50+ pounds eating fast food 2-3 times a week0

Thanks for the responses. We got Five Guys and took it home, so I don't normally weigh fast food but got the chance to in this situation and did so for science!!0

Love love love FiveGuys! But, yeah one of the higher calorie places (so worth it though lol). When we go I split the regular size fry with my husband and then get a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato, fresh onion and mayo. Still a high calorie meal but love doing it occasionally!0 -
I miss Five Guys. Only reason I'm not going is I bet I'll find it way too salty, like all the fast food I've had lately0
