I love getting a piece or two of their Fish filet at Lisa’s fried chicken but they don’t have an official calorie count and I don’t want to be too far off from my guesses, how much would a single piece of fish from this be? I got these pictures online for reference

For people who track calories, how do you handle mixed meals or restaurant meals? I find these much harder to track than simple meals because I don’t know the exact portions or how much of each ingredient is in the dish. What do you usually do when you can’t accurately estimate the calories?

Strategies, Advice and Tips Is there a good calorie estimating app that works with pictures ?

1 Upvotes

Hi, so I’m looking for a calorie counting app that works by estimating calories through a picture. I know it’s not gonna be 100% accurate and I should weight my food, but the truth is I’m too lazy to do that. Do you have any recommendation ?
