How do you accurately count calories when eating out at restaurants that don't post nutritional information? Any tips for estimating portions?

I’ve just accepted that eating out is a guessing game, but I’ve found a few tricks that take the edge off. I always compare the dish to a known reference - like a deck of cards for protein or a fist for carbs - and I overestimate oils and sauces because that’s where most of the hidden calories live. I also ask for dressing on the side and log the highest reasonable estimate I can find in a database. These days, I actually use caloria.tech to settle the debate when I’m really unsure; snapping a photo gives me a breakdown that’s way closer than my wild guess, and it’s helped me realize that my portion sizes were often 20–30% off. It’s not about being perfect - it’s about being consistent enough that the trend over weeks matters more than one meal out.
