Pot luck dinners

How do you count the food at pot luck dinners? I try to put the most nutritious mix of food on my plate, but it's hard to track it when you don't know what's in it. Any tips?

    Serve yourself just a few items (2 or 3) then enter the nearest guess you can find from the database. If you eat a mouthful of 10 things it's just too hard!
    Even better, eat something you've made yourself so you know it's healthy and know what's in it!

    I have the same problem. I have a potluck to go to tomorrow. I think what I will do is eat most of my calories before I go, then eat very light at the party.
