    I always check the website of the restaurants. A lot of them have the option to build your sandwich or entree and it'll give you calorie counts. I only use MFPs numbers if the site doesn't have the nutrition information!

    wow.... now im afraid to check out the calorie count in MOE's


    It's actually not as bad as you might think....well, at least not all things. Their website is amazing at being able to pick and choice what you actually add to it :happy:

    The most important thing is not to get discouraged! I have been using MFP for 90 days and lost 13 lbs. Many days I will go over my calorie count for the day. I do eat really healthy, whole foods, almost never processed. However, when I'm out and about I have already researched fast/restaurant food that I can eat without worry. For example, Panera Bread 1/2 salads with an apple side come in at around 340 cal. Also, Taco Time southwest chopped salad without dressing is only 220 cal. If you do a little research you can go anywhere and eat most places. Even MacDonald's has a few low calorie options. But the best way to control portion and content is to make it yourself - sounds like you are already doing that!
