I am just back to logging after a long time, and I forgot to check whether this restaurant had NI available. It's a chain... I just assumed. Lesson learned. IAC, I had this sandwich: GRILLED TURKEY BREAST SANDWICH
"Handheld Thanksgiving" served on an egg bun with traditional spices, seasoned mayo, lettuce and cranberry.

The cranberry is maybe 1/4 inch of the canned, jellied kind of cranberry sauce. I'd estimate that the turkey breast is maybe the same size as a chicken breast on your typical grilled chicken sandwich. Not fried, but seasoned somehow.

    Build it in recipes as best you can and there you go a calorie count.

    Just break down each part of the sandwich like you wrote about and search for those in the foods database !!

    i would probably break it down and use guesstimates. do 4 oz cooked turkey, canned jellied cranberry sauce, egg bun, and at least 2 Tbl mayo if not more.
    or if you can think of a chain that has something similar you could just log that

    I would try and log each item in the meal separately- ie) egg bun, turkey, cranberry sauce all one by one. You can probably get close that way.

    Log the turkey as 5-6 ozs or whatever you think it was. Log the cranberry (find equivalent from a can in the database), an egg roll (200+ calories easy) and in your head account for the high sodium and balance it out w/ the future eating.

    Guesstimate...each individual component as best you can.

    500+ calories based on some restaurants I looked up in our area with nutrition info.

    OK, I ended up with 538 calories, so if you are finding similar results, I am comfortable with that. Thanks!

    P.S. It was sooooo gooood! I totally enjoyed it, so don't feel too bad about the calories (and I had plenty left for the day)
