    Look up the Nutrition facts for the restaurant and see if it tells you the calories per serving and do a quick add if need be.

    LOL! I have been at work for 4 hours, my brain still apparently is on sleep time.

    I would say not many ...

    Ugh, unfortunately for all of us the serving size of tortilla chips is usually only 9-12 chips. :-(

    Yep, I agree (about the chips not your brain! lol)........I'm guessing I could savour about 5 to equal one ounce.................I need a pocket scale! is there a phone app for that??? lol

    Oh wow...you think 9-12 chips???? that's even better than I thought. I guess I could check on here for chi chi chips and see how many a serving would be.....excellent........thanks for pointing me in that direction.........I hadn't even thought about that.

    Here's Chi Chi's info...........http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-chi-chis-tortilla-chips-i198599

    Either way, I can definitely slowly - very slowly - enjoy a few nachos (9-10 for cal 142) and a chicken fajita (cal 121)
