How should I track food I don’t prepare myself or have good data?

Probably a silky question - how so you track food you don’t prepare yourself

I’m trying to take calorie logging more seriously but I’m having issues when my wife cooks or when I buy food from restaurants (or the nice local bakery) - in both cases I don’t know the ingredients or the weight in the way I would with food I’ve bought, weight and cooked myself. This isn’t that often but I split cooking with my wife and we eat out maybe 1-2 meals a week so relatively frequently I end up mostly guessing.

Do people just go for something close enough in MFP etc and not worry about it? Today I had a chorizo pastry as a weekend treat and there wasn’t a good match in the MFP database so today’s logging is a bit unsatisfactory.

I suspect I might be overthinking this but grateful to know how others deal with it
