hi! there's a TGIF about 3 miles from my house, one way. Walked there today and got: chicken noodle soup (250) w 1/2 Turkey'n'Swiss sandwich w fries. The total online calc of the second part is: 540 calories. I didn't have 1/2 the fries, left 1 bread slice uneaten, and had it with no cheese.
Can someone help me calculate what the meal calories most closely are or how I should log it? Thanks!

    Look up a serving of fries and find out the cal count for that. Divide in half for your total. If it was sliced cheese that was on your bread look up the cal count for how many slices of cheese would have been on there. Subtract that number. Lookup the type of bread you had and subtract one slice. Pretty straightforward.
