I ate at an Italian restaurant tonight. They didn't have the nutrition value's. I checked online and still couldn't find it. Anyway it was made with classic shrimp with butter, lemon, wine, fresh garlic and fresh tomatoes over linguini. Has anyone had anything close to that so I can know how to log it?

    If you can't find the nutritional value of this dish online you'll have to log in each recipe as best as you can. Sometimes it's all we can do.

    I can't vouch for how accurate it is, but you can enter each ingredient separately. I make a lot of casseroles, and that's how I do it. I guess high if I don't know for certain how much of a given item was in the food.

    Sounds about right...

    I would raise it a tad more (oil or anything they might put in it). The shrimp scampi sounds pretty close!

    I want to boycott Carrabas for NOT posting calorie information.

    That really made me mad when I went to their site and they didnt have anything listed!

    I sent them an email and never got anything back!
