Can't stand myfitnesspal. Half the items do not have grams as a measurement.

Cron-o-meter ftw.

It's not that hard to estimate reasonably, and if you're really lost, just go purposefully overboard with your estimate! Every time I cook something in oil, even just pan searing some salmon, I always tack on like 200 extra calories, more if I don't measure the oil exactly.

That's not a bad estimate: sardines in oil are 600 calories, whereas sardines in mustard sauce are only 360 calories.

My family has a rule. Don't lie...and if you're going to make a mistake, overestimate the calories in.

On a life raft overestimating calories is bad. In the land of "dodging food flying towards your mouth" overestimating is good.

On a life raft your real concern is fresh water, you'll die from dehydration months before you even think about starving to death.

Once I typed "homemade brownies" and the result was "Calories: 100 Size: a piece (how big? Who knows!)"

Knew the fatty right away

Yeah I always look for a quantifiable measurement and always went with the one with more calories than similar entries.

My mom once made homemade lasagna. I had to put it in and because of all the cheese I knew it would probably have been about 800-1000 calories for the serving I ate. Most of the ones I saw equated my serving size to about 600 calories. I also saw one that was 50 calories for 100g of lasagna. Some fatty must've binged on lasanga and created that one.
