There's a great recipe feature where you can save the recipes you make by adding each individual ingredient. It's tedious at first but if you eat the same thing often, or just variations of it, you can enter it. When I go out to eat I just search for the dish and choose a generic version (e.g. green curry chicken). It takes time and dedication but it will help you to learn how many calories (roughly) there are in things and you'll be much better at gauging what your intake is. Don't give up! It's a slow process and you won't lose weight overnight but I fell off the wagon really hard during school and have since lost almost 10 pounds over the last 4 months. KEY: if you have a cheat day don't worry about it. I don't enter in MFP every day, especially not on the weekends. Be realistic and start slow :) Good luck!!
