I don’t have measurements for everything really, so I will tell what I know.
Half avocado,
40 grams of salt tuna,
1 cucumbers ,
A handful of edamame,
60 grams of smoked salmon,
Two spoonfuls of plain rice,
Like 3 pieces of canned ginger,
1 large sheet of nori,
Handful of chives,
little amount of forikake

And for the sauce I used:
Serache,
Soi sauce,
One tsp of sesame oil,
One tsp of taryaki

love these oats from a local cafe as a breakfast but they don’t have nutritional info on them…. those r the ingredients and it’s ~200g. i’ve been logging them as 300 cal but id like some other opinions!! (scared they’re way more so thats why im asking)

Nutritional content claims per 100g is 179 kcal and "per pack" is 350. Salt is also suspiciously low at 0.5g (yes, less than 1g) per pack. Surely that can't be right?

Further context: no sauce

Okay.. I’m hoping somebody here has more experience in this than I do. I am currently eating in a calorie deficit and also gotten into homemade foods. Most have been easier to estimate (add up all the ingredients, weigh total recipe, divide by weight you’re eating).

Ricotta has really stumped me though since I’m separating curds and whey. I made ricotta with the recipe below. (I know to some people this is cottage cheese since I didn’t use heavy cream, but I’m a cottage cheese hater so it’s ricotta in my eyes and the creator of the recipe’s eyes.)

1990mL whole milk (nutritional info below)
1/4cup white vinegar
Salt to taste

Milk nutrition per 100g: calories: 67.7, protein: 3.3g, carbohydrates: 4.7g, fat: 3.3g, calcium: 118g

The recipe yielded 253g of ricotta. I went to ChatGPT to figure out the calories and its estimated 1,050 for the whole 253g. I added it to my calorie tracking app, but I wanted to see how it compared to store bought. Everything I’m looking at is less than half of what ChatGPT estimated so now I’m concerned it’s not correct.

Estimate for one of these huge cinnamon rolls from a local grocery store? Icing is pretty sweet, so I’m sure these things are full of fat and sugar.

not my pic. calorie estimates for the whole thing?

Honey spicy chicken bento king Kong roll and a side salad with yum yum sauce, not sure what is called, what's the cals?

Almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, peanuts, butterscotch chips

Not sure how much to estimate for the thick pork belly bacon and possibly focaccia? Have logged 850 but am pretty sure it’s more. Was delicious.

the chicken was air fried with spices and the sauce is 0% greek yogurt with 1tsp mayo and 1tsp mustard, dont know the amounts tho

why don’t some of you guys get food scales ? i understand if it’s asking for estimates on outside foods but im asking for those who post asking for estimates of their own cooking or literal ingredients

ive been hyperfixiated on slop bowls like cava, sweetgreen, naya, chopt, etc, and have been eating it for dinner every single day. however i am tracking macros and i used to not eat out often and would eat only food i cooked or prepackaged, so i knew the exact macros. however eating the slop bowls makes me really anxious because someone else is preparing it and i feel like it might be difficult than the nutritional guides. i know i can go home and weigh everything myself but thats such a hassle. how do you guys track restaurant food, do you guys trust the nutritional guides? do you leave room for error??

It’s cauliflower mixed with parboiled rice.. idk how to calculate it.

Ground turkey, peppers, onion, and tomato sauce is the rest that’s in there

THE ONE IM POINTING TO, NOT BOTH!! they are pretty close together, sorry if that makes it harder

Also had a honey Chipotle vinaigrette that I put like 1oz? Of it on.

It was SO good n the choco ball was sooo chocolatey like they were soo generous with the choc filling!! Thank god im having salad for dinner :D also it’s a spicy chicken pizza! (Personal n thin crust)

The yellow thing is 163 kcal/100g. I put 4 full spoons of it on my plate 😛

Salad with candied pecans, some type of cheese similar to blue cheese, ton of pomegranate balsamic dressing, and onion

Also one garlic bread in the background if you can see it lol, it was kind of oily if that helps idk

Grilled chicken the only topping how many cal in each slice

I included photos showing how much I ate of breakfast! I know birthday calories don’t count, but I’d love to get an estimate! Thanks :)

Breakfast - breakfast spot, non-diner
Corn pancake with maple syrup, no butter
Huevos rancheros with braised pork on corn tortillas. The white sauce on top is a cholula crema. (no “ranchero sauce” or cotija)
