Game - How many calories?

[Pineapple27]

....for my dinner tonight? For obvious reasons, I'm not going to tell you quantities, but the picture is my meal and it consists of:

Butternut squash roasted in one-cal olive oil spray, feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, lettuce, cucumber, quarter of an avocado and a drizzle (measured) of honey and mustard dressing...

I'll give you one other clue - 10g of pine nuts.

I guess at 512 cals. Looks yummy

Ooh delish! It would be hard to care how many calories!! About 400?

[Pineapple27 in reply to Hidden]

Was lovely and highly recommended!

Hi Pineapple27 ,

This looks delicious - I will estimate that it was approx 357 calories?

Woohoo! I like this game!

It’s quite reassuring to know I’m good at counting calories.

Interesting that only Morgancando guessed over, I would have said 450, also under, but saw this too late to join in. We naturally guesstimate under. I like this game though (and its good practice!)....again! again!

[Anna_8888 Maintainer]

Again pls? I like this game and makes us conscious of the calories.

I forgot to factor in the quarter avocado as well. Fun game, Pineapple27

[Pineapple27 in reply to Zest]

That's why logging is such a useful tool for weight loss, as perhaps when we think of what we've eaten during the day we sometimes forget something fairly insignificant / small, but in terms of calories (like the avocado) VERY significant!

[Zest Healthy BMI in reply to Pineapple27]

Yes, it is - definitely a good thing to do. I was purely looking at your photo when I was estimating, and I realised after that you gave extra info in the words - i.e. mentioning the avocado and the 10g pine nuts clue. I will be more 'observant' and take into account more info next time.
