Can someone help me estimate the calories in a local restaurant meal?

I went to a local upscale burger place for dinner tonight with friends and I'm having difficulty estimating the damage. I got an"all American" burger with tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, onions, hold the cheese. I got fries as well. The meal I got is similar to the picture below, but without cheese on the burger. Can anyone help me estimate the calories on this as the restaurant does not post nutrition info?

1300 maybe 1400

800 ish burger, 500-600 chips plus sauces

Depends on the size of the patty but yeah, probably 1400 calories total. Heck for all those calories I would have got cheese too, lol.

I'd probably add it as 1/3-lb 80% beef + bun + 1-2 tbsp of any high calorie condiments + x cups of fries (eye it as best you can) + 100-200 calorie quick add as a buffer.

When eating burger and fries, 1000-1500 should be a good estimation. To be safe, I would put it at 1500 calories.

I'd go with about 1500, yeah.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

1500 sounds safe to me as well.

Not less than 1500.

I'd type "burger - restaurant" into the database and pick the highest one. I'd place the burger around... 1000 (maybe more if there was lots of mayo) and the fries at 400-700 depending on how many you had (compare it to McDonald's sizes to be safe).

Well, where's the shake?
