So I'm ordering authentic Mexican food tonight and of course no menu. I'm getting 3 corn chicken tortilla with lettuce onion.. should I skip the cheese? And I'm definitely eating chips and salsa. How do I log that? Do I plan maybe 1500 Cals? Thanks

    Look them up in the MFP database. I know corn tortillas, chicken, lettuce, onion, cheese, tortilla chips and salsa are in there. Estimate the quantities as best you can, and log them.

    The chips and salsa, depending how much, will probably be more than the tacos! Tortilla chips have a lot of calories.

    I second the warning on the tortilla chips! I weighed out 150 grams (around 5 oz) of chips the other night and that equaled 750 calories. Luckily, that was entire dinner so I didn't get totally derailed that day...
