Over estimate or under estimate???

What's your general rule of thumb when you can't find the food you're looking for on MFP and need to know calories, carbs, etc.?

Do you over estimate the numbers so that you know you definitely won't go over your goal amounts or under estimate if you know it's impossible to be completely accurate?

I would say over estimating is better. There is also a book called "The Fat Book" we used to sell it at the clinic I work at and it has almost anything you can imagine. Definitely, a good investment.

I try to find a food similar in composition, but first, I try googling it.

It happened to me this weekend where a dish I ordered from a restaurant was a gimmick unique to that place, I had no idea what the distribution was, but I used a similar type of food

I still say Google is your friend first though.

Over estimate! I would much rather be under my goal and not know it than over my goal and not know it...

I. Usually do a google search for the item or go to the products website. But would say overestimate is better.

I use google to look up the info and add them myself to the database.

I'll definitely have to invest in this one, thanks!
