Calorie estimate

how the fuck do i track the calories of homemade foods and food from restaurants? pic related. just ate this big ass burrito filled with grilled shrimp, steak, beans, and rice. it's not terrible like fast food but the problem is, i'm trying to lose weight. what do Veeky Forums?

Measure it out before hand and work it out...

>measure it out before hand
are you saying i should completely take apart my food and measure the individual ingredients then google the calories?

Honestly? Throw that shit out and never eat there again because that looks like crap.

It can be difficult, but
1) After a while you get better at estimating calories for shit based off of references to other things you've eaten than you know the calories for
2) If you are bulking, try to underestimate the calories you're eating. If cutting, overestimate. Just to be safe

Yes. If you want to be safe fill your meal with 2/3 veggies. It'll always be low calorie that way

That's probably around 500 calories I'd assume. I can't see how big it actually is. I'd just eyeball stuff like that.

You don't literally need to accurately calculate every calorie unless you're an obese retard or are doing professional body building.

It looked bad in the thumbnail, but the contents of that thing looks fucking tasty. You just have a horrible and childish palate.

homemade is fucking easy

Weigh all ingredients beforehand if getting combined, then figure out its net volume or # of servings. Like... if you're doing homemade pizza, it's dough + sauce + cheese + meat into a WHOLE PIZZA. Then you eat 1/4 of it. It's basic f'ing math.

As for eating out... a lot of places do have calories listed online, else you'll can likely find comparables. Like Chipotle or Bullritos or someshit probably has a similar listing.
