Looks like an underestimation. The cheese alone is likely 500+ calories.

This is probably right, one cup of grated cheese is usually 400 calories minimum.

I use my weekly goal and don't focus on my daily numbers because some days I'm not very hungry and other days I'm very hungry.

How much pizza? 200g of chippy chips are over 1000 calories.

Stop eating.

200g Mccain Chippy chips are around 350cal.

The Tesco pizza bake is 350 cal.

Since there's probably problems with your logging I wouldn't worry about the extra 300 calories - you probably have them covered or at least pretty close to it.

The cheese isn't a cupfull, I only had a sprinkle over the chips and the chips was only a handfull approx 10-15 chips

Yeah, you wrote 1 cup in your initial post. With these kinds of high calories foods you'll need to be extra careful with weighing, measuring, and logging.

I have also exercised today so my goal has gone up. Sorry for couple mistakes.

The OP was cheerful that they are full and have calories to spare and thought to share it. More than obviously they chose the wrong place!

...gee people, take a break....

So you logged a cup but only ate a sprinkle? Sounds like your diary is a mess - whether it is over or under. Fine in the beginning when you have a lot to lose but eventually when you have a smaller deficit (or if you only have a small deficit now) you're going to run into problems. Ignore everything else for now and just work on your logging. Getting your logging accurate will save you lots of hardship and problems in the long run and is well worth the effort.

You have a load of guestimates and no actual weights

Items can vary from the packaged weights so the calories would be off

Bob down argos and buy a kitchen scale and weigh your food in grams and use measuring cups for liquids

Spend a few days logging accurately and then see if your undereating

Instead of going with options like "1 cup of cheese" etc, you really are honestly best weighing it out because it could cause a drastic difference depending on what size of cup you're using and what kind of cheese it is too.

Grab a set of food scales, make sure to get the correct brand and type of food (eg if it's cheese, say if it's Tesco's own brand, Cathedral City, Pilgrims Choice, if it's full fat or the lighter options, cheddar, red Leicester etc) and weigh it out according to how much you need and go off the nutrition info on the back of the packet. Guessing and estimating can be so wrong and more often than not, we tend to underestimate just how much of something we're having.

Sometimes when you use the scanner on the phone app it doesn't give the correct item so always be sure to double check.
