For lunch I decided I am going to order a taco salad from a loca pizza place(its a nice pizza place)

"Our garden salad with homemade chili, jack cheese and taco shells served with sour cream and salsa on the side"
The thing that makes me nervous is the "homemade chili" because I dont know whats in it and how many calories I should estimate it as. Any suggestions? I know I could ask but Ive asked this place about something else before and they had no idea so i dont think that would work. lol No website with the nutrional values either.

The garden salad is iceberg lettuce with green peppers tomatoes and carrots.

right now I have the salad at 500 calories. Do you think that's reasonable or should I estimate higher?

    You could look up like Wendy's Chili or something like that and approximate the amount of chili you got on your salad, maybe?

    If it were me (I love to eat locally- so I'm often making best guesses) I would look in the database and try to find one of the higher calorie chili choices to be safe! Sounds tasty!!

    Ughhh I dont know what to dooooo! maybe i should just get like a turkey wrap with no cheese and no mayo and just lettuce and tomatoe and pickels..but then i dont know the calories of the wrap. I know they use boars head deli meats.

    I love mexican, and that sounds good!
    When you asked in the past did they have no idea of what was in it, or the nurtitional content?
    If I ordered it I would just do a chili that I found on the database here, but I don't have as many hang ups about food as other people do. I'd just be a little more strict with future meals and workouts until I'm back to feeling good.
