Unknown Calories

[lucyjenkins]

Hello Fitbit!

Today I went out for a meal at Handmade Burger Kitchen.

Unfortunately, they do not have calories or macros on their menu/website.

I log calories everyday... is there anyone or any website that could help guess the calories?

Thanks!

You should be able to take an educated guess, by estimating the size the meat patty, what else was on the burger (cheese, bacon, onions...) and the type of bun. I did a quick search and found several sites listing calories for burgers. Give it a good guess and you should be close. 

Good luck!

Hi @lucyjenkins - I'm agreeing with @MarciM - the more you log your eating, the better your eye will become at estimating restaurant meals.

Also, try entering the restaurant / chain in the food-tracker - sometimes your exact item will pop up.

hey @lucyjenkins so I looked up the handmade burger kitchen and what it brings up is the handmade burger co.. not sure if its the same place but here is a link to find nutritional info for their food- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/nutrition-facts-calories/handmade-burger-co  - conveniently through my fitness pal. If it isn't the same place, you can probably still use it to guestimate what you ate...

One more thought -- as long as you log all your eating with your best guesstimates, the errors will tend to offset each other the more you log (sometimes you'll guess high, other times low).  The real mistake is to completely omit logging a meal because of accuracy concerns.
