It drives me nuts! I don't know how a restaurant counts their calories and how much of it I can trust. For example, I go to Noodles and Company and order from their 500-calories-or-less menu, a nice dish of buttered noodles. At the counter they ask if I want it with the seasoning... do I? The seasoning doesn't cost extra, but it includes cheese, so does their calorie count include that? The seasoning is specific to the buttered noodles though so wouldn't they include that in the count? I decide to order the spicy chipotle adobo instead, 400 calories, excellent! I get the dish... and discover it comes with sour cream. Does the sour cream count too?
I go to Habit Burger and see that their charburger has 500 calories, but at the counter they ask if I want cheese on it. Does the calorie count include cheese? Heck, does the calorie count include the mayo, ketchup, and all the other ingredients they put on it, or is that considered extra? The website doesn't specify what ingredients make up a charburger, for all I know it's the calorie count for the plain burger, or its made up entirely.
Sometimes I find myself questioning it in places where I'm probably overthinking, like the other day I was at Blaze pizza where they claim 150 calories per slice for a meat lovers pizza. I get panicked and wonder if that includes the crust, since most people don't eat the crust.
How do y'all figure this out? Counting calories is tricky if you aren't preparing your food yourself, and that takes time that I often don't have :( I could just make the choice to not eat anything I'm questioning, but even a 100 calorie difference will throw off my entire day and energy level.
Do you guys have this problem too?
