Most of the restaurants we go to don't have nutrition information available, so I make comparisons with food available in the database (I don't log generally, but just use it as a guide). So if we're going out to a Chinese restaurant and I plan to have beef and broccoli, I find one in the database and use that as an estimate. Does that make sense? If you don't go out often, you can just quick add some calories if calories are the only thing you're logging.

Do some extra light exercise (like a brisk walk) and don't eat back the calories on that. Eating out at a proper restaurant (not a chain) with friends and/or family is awesome...enjoy it.
