I went out and found myself in a Mexican restaurant (Lupe Tortilla). I ordered a salad but it had lots of guac and sour creme. I am trying to figure out how many calories it was but I haven't found anything. I didn't eat the taco shell, but I still think it was pretty bad. I estimated 800 calories. Does anyone have a sense if that is accurate? It had cheese on it as well.

Thanks.

Dan

    Yeah, about the only way is to enter each ingredient as close as you can manage. I feel your pain; it makes going to smaller, non-chain restaurants kind of hard since most of the time they're not on MFP and don't post their own calorie counts.

    I know. I figured with the cheese, guac, sour creme, lettuce, tomato it was about 800 calories. I went to Taco Bell website and their taco salad was about that, so I assume it is similar. I guess I will just go with 800 and call it a bad day.

    If I get stuck like this, I usually take an average of the closest ones I DO find on MFP. On another note...mmmmm...taco salad. Yummy!
