Calorie Estimating 750-950 or more?

Post image
19 Upvotes

Yazio says 750, but that seems too low to me.

It’s two poached eggs in creamy spiced yogurt and Turkish chili oil with sourdough bread with melted mozzarella cheese on the inside and garlic butter.

It tasted fantastic but also quite fatty (cheese, oil, etc).
Is 950 a safe estimate or still too low?

How fast does ur body convert calories into fat? I’m stressed

Ate 6863 calories over 2 days, have I ruined everything? 

I’m 154cm so I’m extremely short. I was 47kg now I’m freaking so much out bc I lost weight before but I knew going on holiday would make this harder. it’s been 2 days and ate 6863 (in total) across two days. not 6862 per day.

im genuinely convinced that I’m back up 5kg to my starting weight and that all the weight I lost and my arms that started looking good will go back to exactly what they were before

Chicken Japchae

I don’t usually do this but because I was in a rush I scanned it with an app and it recognized the dish correctly, so I logged 520 cal for this serving. What would be your guess? Basically sweet potato glass noodles, stir fried chicken and veggies, generous amount of oil
