I agree with the posters. What I tend to do in a situation where I don't know what's in the food I eat is to make an educated guess. I use nutridiary to track my food, so I look there. I'd be likely to examine things that "look like" what I ate. In this case, I'd try to estimate the size of the burger and would probably err on the side of caution -- guessing it to have more fat. I would recommend using a site like nutridiary or fitday to help with these kinds of issues, even if you don't want to write everything down -- they are free!
leJellyBean -- Yeah, it's not a perfect system, is it? I have trouble sometimes finding the right foods. I console myself in 2 ways:
1) I'm losing weight regularly, so even if I'm doing something wrong and am not completely accurate, I don't seem to be sabotaging myself
2) I'm not counting calories expecting the counts to be perfect, but am tracking foods so I know what kinds of things I've eaten and how much, etc.
I guess what I'm saying is, I've come to terms with the fact that the system isn't perfect, but it's working well for me. Since I started tracking what I eat in nutridiary in August I've lost about 60 pounds!
I have a huge list of customized foods at fitday. Canadian brands, things I make from scratch. It takes some work but now that I have it set up for me, I love it.

That's so awesome that you've lost 60 lbs! When i hear stuff like that, it totally gives me hope for myself!
I really like fitday, and i do have a bunch of customized food...it's just confusing looking up stuff there sometimes!
