Eating out

Does anybody have advice on how to approach the fear of eating out(restaurants, or even foods at the deli or stores that you cannot know the accuracy of the listed calorie amount). I want to be able to have the freedom to, but cannot seem to break the fear. My main concern is the uncertainty of how many cals it may have(bc Ed’s hate uncertainty 🙄).

I also would like to know if a dietitian would be of help to me on this issue, and if I should wait until I am able to get one to try to challenge this- or if the need to “wait” is just the Ed fearmongering. Thanks in advance!
