I would break down the ingredients of the doener kebab. Take the bread, enter it as a medium pita bread. Then there's about 1/2 cup of lettuce, maybe a quarter of a cup of diced tomatos, some onion, a quarter cup of greek style cabbage salad, maybe 2 tbsp of tsatsiki. I think that's the most common doener, at least the ones that I eat have all those things. Some places even put red cabbage in.
Edit: geez, I forgot about the meat... usually it is veal or a mixture of veal and beef. But some places also offer chicken, I would say it is no more than 3 oz.

You have to do the best you can. Which often means beginning by making almost all your meals at home.
:-(
OK - not realistic! look online. Many times, calorie info can be found at the website of the purveyor.
Or, choose something simular from the list. Starbucks mild coffee with cream and sugar not listed? Hey, Dunkin Donuts coffee of the same size is probably comparable.
Recipe not list calories? Call your cooperative extension service and find out where to get the USDA Nutritive Value of Food booklet. I got mine for free from the extension near me some years ago. Calculate the nutrition info for all the food in the recipe, and divide by number of servings. Try to get each serving the same size when ladeling it out for the meal and you have a fairly accurate info calculation. This handy booklet has all the raw foods listed and all nutrition info. We're talking beets, carrots, tarrigon, etc. Not fast food or ready made food. But those should have their nutrition info listed either on the pkg or at the website of the purveyor.

how do you find Nutrition information for stuff that you can't find on the chart, but is a fairly common food?
Like Chunky Chips - I know they have less fat than thin fries, but I can't find them on the nutrition thingie, and don't know where else to get the info from? And Donner Kebabs? (somewhere in the reigion of 9 squillion calories, isn't it?) and the type of donut you get from a stand at a festival? (Ok, I didn't have a very good day today, did i??!!)
