    Where did you get it from? Have you tried to check their website or search that in the foods? I'm not good at estimating either!

    I don't know if this helps, but Baja Fresh have their nutrition info available, and you can maybe use that to help estimate:

    or maybe entering all the ingredients seperate? That may be too much work!

    Try searching on MFP for the name of the restaurant. If it's not there, try to find it on the restaurant's website under the menu/nutrition. If you still can't find it, then just choose a similar sounding burrito/enchilada from the MFP database. Hope that helps!

    Ya they're a small local place in NC so I don't think they'd be in the database but ill look. Good idea looking at another restaurants nutrition info, better than nothing.

    I would add 700 calories and call it good. Mexican food can be very high calories.
