I see about 800 calories homemade with little/no added fat, so 1000 may be close

I’m in, I’ll say 700 calories:
4 oz salmon cooked
2 oz steak
2 oz turkey
1 oz Mac n cheese
3 oz cooked brown rice
3 oz veg
1 tbsp oil

Weighs in at 15.5 oz and 669 calories using my choices from the database so I’ll round it up to 700 calories for that other 0.5 of an ounce.

(I do this by eyeball all the time at the salad bar at my local gourmet grocery. I never buy cucumber anymore, too heavy!)

I’m in the “about 750” camp. If logging it as 1000 is working for you I see no reason to change it. However, if you’re hungry splitting it in half it’s worth weighing a few times to get an idea. They make pocketable scales but if you’re uncomfortable doing it there you can weigh it when you get back to work or home. I’d add at least 100-150 for oil.

Scales are super cheap, you could have one on your doorstep in a day two from Amazon.

My guess would be 850 calories.

I feel like this is “the dress” of meals!! Blue and black or white and gold?!?? One bite of Mac and cheese or several?!??

All joking aside, I say around 800 calories. However like others also stated, if you are ok with how your weight is managing by eating this so often, then it must be within your guidelines.

Also, if you eat half at work and the other half at home, then weigh the second half of the meal when you get home. Then you just multiply that by 2. Add an extra 150 or so for the oils and that’s how you will probably be most accurate if you don’t want to weigh at work.

1.) Roasted green beans & asparagus - 70 cal
2.) Baked salmon - 150 cal
3.) Piece of skirt steak -150 cal
4.) Piece of roast turkey slice - 80 cal
5.) A forkful if Mac and cheese- 100 cal
6.) Brown rice - 100 cal
7.) oil - I'm going to guess 3 tablespoons because honestly so many places use a TON of oil and oil was likely added to the salmon and steak - 330 calories

so around 1000 looks right to me.
