Question for people who are calorie tracking

I’m curious how people are going about tracking calories (if that’s your diet choice)

I set mine at 1850 for my diet and am now realizing two days in how hard it is to actually track everything. Like are you measuring the amount of onions you’re using and things like that?

I also went to dinner and got a salmon salad and realized after the place doesn’t have nutritional facts so I’ve been averaging out the ones logged on my fitness pal to track that but now I feel like I’m cheating since that could technically be wrong 😂 any advice?
