    So...you'll have to learn how to log food from restaurants.

    It's not really possible for us to do that for you.

    I think I would deconstruct it, like, XXX amount for the chips. XXX amount for the chicken. XXX amount for whatever that cheesy sauce is. The salsa, other condiments, etc. That looks like an awful lot of cheese.

    Call it 1400 and it's close enough...if you didn't eat that bowl of chips on the side. :tongue:

    Gosh, the chips alone would probably more than 100gr, thus more than 550 calories for those alone. The chicken is probably fairly low, but all the rest, and the oil and cheese. Really, an awful lot.

    I'd make my best guess from what others have logged for chicken nachos and then not worry about it. To me, the biggest drawback from eating at restaurants with fewer than 20 locations (I think that is trigger point for reporting) is that they are not required to post nutrition information. Even when the nutrition info is given, it is only an average or an estimate.

    BTW, the nachos look good. Hope you enjoyed them!
