Does anyone know if there is a website that can calculate how many calories are in a certain food? I went to an independent restaurant for lunch and I do not know how to determine how many calories I had.

    You might try the recipe calculator here on MFP. Go to food, my recipes, and to the right there should be a green button to create a new recipe. You can use generic items to estimate how many cals were in your food. Good luck! If all else fails, I google.

    I had a California Burrito. It had steak strips, onions, tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce all wrapped in a glorious flour tortilla with melted cheese on top *lol* It was yummy. But huge.

    Is it possible for you to call the restaurant and ask for the nutirional information for the meal you had. Even if you had something common like a stir fry depending on what ingredients were used and how it was prepared it may not be the same caloires, sodium content etc. as another restaurant with the same meal.

    Sorry wrote this before I saw what you had to eat.
