Modifying restaurant food

So I went to Chili's for dinner, and had the Lighter Side Grilled Chicken sandwich. According to Chili's web site, and MFP the calorie/fat count is 470/10, AS SERVED. I got it with just lettuce on it, but it includes tomato and honey mustard dressing. So I figure removing tomato isn't much, but by removing the honey mustard, shouldn't that impact the overall calorie/fat count? I try to be as exact as possible, but times like this confuse me. And what makes it worse in this situation is that the fat content of their serving of honey mustard by itself has more fat than what the sandwich is listed at.

If anyone has any tips or ideas, I'd love to hear (read) them...

Thanks!

Ken

    I would just leave the calories in there and not worry about removing them.

    The tomatos won't have more than like 10 calories if that. The honey mustard will have some but leaving it in gives you a bit of a buffer... the amount most likely isn't going to be enough to make any impact on what you can eat later on in the day.
