Is trying to figure out calories on pizza where the restaurant doesn't have any nutritional information available. I hate trying to guesstimate sometimes but it doesn't happen too often. I try looking at other restaurants but really find anything close. Guess I will just try my best and continue to search.....

    I hate that too. Or one of our local shops has their nutritional info, but doesn't include the protein. :grumble:

    I employ the SWAG method for places that don't have calorie info - scientific wild *kitten* guessing. :bigsmile: Find the closest match and go with it. Or, if I can't even do that, I'll just quick add my remaining calories and call it a day.

    I always liked throwing a little more for a cushion also. I had plenty of calories saved for dinner so I am safe. I just find myself being a little obsessive trying to be exact with trying to track sometimes.

    Like others have said, just try to find a close match to the pizza you are eating with another restaurant that has their nutritional data posted.

    Yesterday I went to a Mexican restaurant that didn't have any nutrition info either so I found a close match and added a few extra cals, just in case.

    SWAG! Lol I love that. But yes, I do the same, sometimes you just have to guess. After a few years you will be able to look at something across the room and tell how many calories are in it. *sigh* It's a curse.
