    It's SO frustrating when restaurants don't post nutrition facts!
    Try googling "applebee's nutrition info/facts." You can sometimes find them on other health websites such as calorieking.com, dailyplate.com (this might be under thedailyplate.com), or even MFP.
    Hope this helps! :smile:

    I run into this a lot so I'll often use a Recipe Calorie Calculator website, I like

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

    You can enter all the ingredients and quantities and it will calculate all the nutritional facts for you and then I enter it in MFP. A little time consuming, but I feel like I'm getting an accurate nutritional report.

    So how do you know what the ingredients are? Applebees mashed potatoes are way yummy.... Are they just regular taters/butter/milk? Or do they extra richen 'em up with 1/2&1/2 or something? Unless you work there you don't know for sure.

    I avoid Applebees 'cause it's all just salt & sugar & fat - and because they don't give out nutritional info - but when I do eat at one of those places I just find some reasonable sounding substitution in the MFP database. Hey - it's a 7 oz. porterhouse, and I trimmed in on the plate. how far off can I be?

    I find most of my nutrition info that isn't stored on www.calorieking.com
