how do you even begin to know how many points you are eating at one of these? thanks!

In one of the books is a list of foods by ethnicity - if I am going to a certain type of restaurant, I scope out the list and see what kinds of combos I can make and stay within my points range for the day. I tend to avoid buffets, though, b/c it is hard to control portions (for me, anyway).

As you learn what looks like 1 cup or 1/2 a cup it really does help. I don't avoid buffets at all.

You can get close in points and that wont' make or break your weight loss efforts if on occasion you are over or under for the day.
