    Log each item individually and guesstimate up.

    -pear ~80 cal in 1 cup of slices, unless it's baked with sugar? I'm not sure how a pear is baked...
    -gorgonzola ~100 cal in 1 ounce
    -tomato ~50 cal in 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
    -walnuts ~180 cal in 1 ounce
    -mixed greens ~30 cal in 3 cups
    -balsamic dressing ~90 cal in 2 tablespoons

    So my guess is ~530 calories.

    Thank you. I came up with 615--I guess there isn't a perfect system, but maybe estimating over 600 would be a good idea.
