I ordered a pad see ew with shrimp and light oil? THere are some pad thais in the calorie database but they seem too low. Anyone have any thoughts how much in a restaurant portion?

Thanks!

    Between 500-600 depending on the serving size.

    The newspaper in my city (Toronto Star) recently did a calorie analysis on pad thai from a local restaurant, and the calories were well over 1000 for the whole dish (sorry, I can't find the link to the article!). Although that particular restaurant is considered the 'fast food of Thai' with big portions etc. when I go out for any kind of restaurant noodle, I always assume 800-1000 just to be safe (if I eat the whole thing). Oh, and I LOVE Thai food, it really is my favourite. For something similar but not so many calories, consider Vietnamese :)
