Maybe you can look up the ingredients separately, add them together, and get a closer estimation that way.0

This is a good idea, I do it often, and make a "recipe" out of it if it's something I think I'll eat more than a few times. Also, if it's a chain restaurant, many of the dishes are in the MFP database already, or if not, you can find the nutritional information on their website.0 -
deconstructing it and then adding the ingredients seperatly works well if you can tell whats in it.
I deconstructed some sushi once and it was like 500 calories more than "taki spicey salmon roll" was in the MFP database.0
