BeslyCalorie counter for restaurant meals
Updated October 6, 2026
Eating out is where calorie tracking usually breaks down: the menu item isn't in the app, the portion is a guess, and it takes five searches to log one meal. Besly keeps the menus of 28 US chains in its food catalog, so you can say the order and get the chain's own numbers.

Nutrition by chain
Full calorie and macro tables from each chain's official nutrition information: McDonald's · Chipotle · Chick-fil-A · Taco Bell · Starbucks · all restaurant pages.
How to log a restaurant meal
- Say the chain and what you ordered: “Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich, small waffle fries and a lemonade.”
- Check the card: each item, its serving and the totals.
- Adjust by voice: “no mayo”, “large fries instead”.
Eating out on a calorie target
- Decide before you order. Check what's left for the day first; a 1,200 kcal lunch is fine on some days and not others.
- Drinks and sides add up. Fries, regular soda and specialty coffee drinks are often a big share of a fast food meal.
- Lead with protein. Grilled chicken, bowls with double protein and egg-based breakfasts keep you full for fewer calories. Our protein calculator shows your daily target.
- Balance the rest of the day. A lighter dinner from meals under 300 calories or high-protein, low-calorie recipes makes room for a burger at lunch.
