Not knowing true calorie content...*Rant*

So my co-worker brought me a Korean BBQ pork taco back from lunch after I mentioned I was hungry. I ate it, it was good. Went to put it in my diary and of course, I have no idea the calorie content because it came from a taco truck. I've spent the last 40 minutes searching the web trying to find something similar's calorie content. Boo! I ended up just picking something and putting it in there. Honestly, I feel crazy when this stuff happens...I'm obsessed :) It's a good and a bad thing. I'm sure many of you have been in the same boat :)

    try entering just the individual components, and guesstimate as best you can. I have to do that with some foods we make of our own recipes, and it's a long list but it sure beats not having a clue lol Hang in there! :flowerforyou:
