    Yes, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Most packaged food labels are off by about 10-15%, it's a much higher mislabeling at restaurants where lab controlled portions for the data are not so carefully measured by chefs during a dinner rush. As for calories burned, I log my exercise, but only tend to eat back about half my exercise calories. It's a difficult thing to accurately measure w/o hrm, so I just use it as a guideline. Weight loss is pretty on track for me despite these factors.

    Restaurants are the worst!
