Where do you go? What do you do?
I don't like guessing so I find that calorie king has been a good tool to use with MFP. Any other good sites or tricks for when you just can't find a food?

I use Dietfacts.com or the restaurant's website if they offer the nutritional values. Also I do put things into the database that aren't there. Like I just input a hot cocoa mix because it wasn't in the database before.0

google. And if I can't find it, but I have an idea of how many cals it might be (like maybe 90 cals), I will quick add 120 cals or something to be safe. Time doesn't always permit searching...0

Sometimes you just have to add it. I often refer to nutritiondata.com.0

if its something i have the nutrition info for, i add it myself. if i dont have it i use calorieking.com ..(or google, on the rare occasion CK doesnt have what im lookin for)0

I guess the next best thing sometimes.
The grocery store sushi selection seems to be completely lacking. And also bread you buy from grocery store bakeries.0 -
If it's a packaged food and I have the nutrition info, I'll add it. For prepared foods, I will either find a very close substitute (like, a different restaurant's burger) or add the constituent parts (1/2 lbs patty, bun, cheese, etc.)0

I am good at adding calories for any food not in the MFP database. It is just a matter of using a calculator...but this new food has stumped me! It is a Russian chocolate with vodka in the center. There are small and give me that Choco rush I need every once in awhile. If you read Russian or can help me in any other way with this, let me know.0
