Counting calories at restaurants has never been easier. Search any dish — from butter chicken to margherita pizza — add multiple items to your meal log, and instantly see total calories, protein, carbs and fat. No guesswork, no signup.
Unlike packaged food, restaurant dishes don't have nutrition labels. A "butter chicken" at one restaurant can have 400 kcal more than at another due to cream, butter and oil usage. That's why using a calorie database built around real restaurant averages is far more accurate than guessing.
At Indian restaurants: choose dal, tandoori dishes, raita over paneer makhani or korma. At fast food: grilled chicken over crispy, skip the sauce. At Italian: tomato-based sauces over cream-based ones. Small swaps compound into significant calorie reductions over a week.
Studies show restaurant calorie counts can be off by 10–30% due to chef variation, oil volume and portion inconsistency. When you're tracking for weight loss, build in a 15–20% buffer above the stated figure. Use our calculator for estimates and your urine colour and energy as confirmation.
