They do give large quantities. You have to adjust it. And, I use it as a guide more than fact and just kind of guess a little between the package label and the site. Most the things I look up are fruits, veggies, and meat/fish/poultry.

I don't know how accurate restaurant's nutritional data is as they would have to hire a nutritionist/dietitian to do that for them. Some of the larger chains may financially be able to hire one. And, no Awesome Blossom for me.

I also have found that by eating so much fruit and veggies everyday, I find it hard to keep my calorie count up. I'm getting most of the nutrition, I think, but not the calories. I range between 1,400 to 1,700 calories a day. When I was snacking on crackers, pretzels, and things like that and eating more pasta, it was much easier to reach my "caloric goal" based on my height, weight, level of activity, etc.

I don't think we have a Baja Fresh here. In fact, I have never heard of them.
