Not sure how to calculate these!

Thinking about going here for Sunday roast tomorrow (menu is on the link): http://www.thedukeofyork.com/surbiton/?page_id=292

And meeting up with friends for dinner here: http://www.stein-s.com/kingston/menu.php where I would have the stew or the Obatzda mit Brezel.

Obviously I can't calculate the calories easily. I'm doing my best (trying to work it out in my diary) but anyone got any top tips? I imagine someone will at least be able to give calories for a Sunday roast! German cuisine is a little more... unique.

    You'd look up a typical restaurant entry for each item and then guesstimate your portion sizes, e.g.--

    "ARAMARK on Campus - Seasoned Roast Beef"

    Don't forget to add on each seasoning, side, topping, and sauce. E.g., the dinner comes with "*All s/w rosemary roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli and delicious Yorkshire pudding with homemade red wine jus." Restaurant ingredients will tend to have more salt and butter than homemade ones.

    If this is a one-off, don't stress about it, remember you're there to have fun. :)

    I'm jealous. Sounds like a yummy evening!
