    Check to see if the restaurant lists it's nutritional info on their website. If not, you may be able to find a similar restaurant that does. Then you can manually add it to your database.

    google the restaurant info...

    if you know the calorie count just use the quick add on your food diary

    maybe look for skirt steak or else just any steak w/marinade. Enjoy your dinner, but being the mexican that I am I know that food ONLY tastes good because of the amount of fat & salt!! Have a good dinner but drink lots of water!!

    I would just check the ingredients one by one.. then add 50 calories for anything else they may have added you couldn't taste.

    I just went here (my fav go to site):

    http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

    and entered : 'carne asada' as an ingredient and click on the 'all these words' radio button and got one hit:

    "Rubios Carne Asada Dos Tacos" and it says it's 770 cals per serving but I don't know what a serving is at Rubio's Mexican restaraunt.
