    In those situations, I just estimate how much I ate (half? a quarter? a third?) and enter that amount in my diary. There's no way to be perfectly accurate about the calories, even if you ate the full amount, because it's not weighed before serving. If you don't do this all the time, there shouldn't be any repercussions from the occasional inaccuracy.
