Hey,
So I have a really random question, and maybe nobody can answer this: my wife and I love this restaurant called Calexico where we live in NYC. There are a bunch of different locations, but it is not big enough to be listed exactly in the MFP nutrition foods. My question is: Has anybody else been there and have an estimate of calories in the burritos? OR does anybody have a recommendation of how to guess these things? The veggie burrito looks smaller than the one from a place like Chipotle, and there is less cheese and guac than Chipotle uses: it appears to be mostly beans and rice. If I were to guess I'd say each half of the burrito would fit into a cup-sized measuring cup? That's not a lot to go by is it... this may be hopeless... anyway, if you are going through NYC, eat at Calexico. It's cheap and the bomb.

Next time you are in one. Ask if they can guestimate the calorie information into mfp. say more people will come if they do.0
