Potlucks and events with buffets

How do you log when you go to a potluck or an event with a buffet?

I keep track of what I eat using my cell phone camera and log best guess using existing similar entries in MFP.

^^Brilliant! I usually just try to mindful of what I'm eating, but don't necessarily log since I don't typically have my scale with me or an ingredient list for each food item.

I just log 2000 cals, cuz I don't have any self control

I do my best to stick to vegetables and garden salad no dressing at church pot lucks and my other suggestion is that you take something you know you can eat and share it with the others

I add it up in my head (estimating) then log quick calories, typically. But I think I'm pretty good at estimating by now...
