What do I do if I don't know the nutritional value of food i'm eating (I log my meals/calories)? Should I guess? I emailed the company I'm visiting tomorrow (I have no choice, i'm going out with my boyfriend's family for lunch) but there is a chance they won't get back to me.

For the occasional treat out don't worry about it. Just make sure that you just eat a smaller portion and make good choices. I'm diabetic so I swap out some carbs to have a treat, so I will forgo the potatoes so that I can have a starter or a dessert. In fact my OH and I will share starters and desserts to cut back on things and I will always leave food on my plate. Don't let people push you into eating everything in front of you either or trying to make you have something you don't want.

Have a nice meal and enjoy yourself.
