    Buy a food scale and weigh everything. Then you'll know.

    i hate broccoli so for me, no, thats not doing it right at all. lol

    that meat (is it pork or chicken?) is anywhere from 3-400 cals i would imagine (higher side if pork, lower if skinless chicken breast). the oil and breading in it is where the calories are. maybe 50 for the veg (not including any butter or seasonings). Depending on how many cals you had allowed for the day/that meal, you could easily have added in a bit of mac and cheese (my dinners can range anywhere from 300-700 cals, depending on day)

    get a food scale and learn how to use it, and the recipe builder in MFP.

    ive been doing this 5 years and most of the time am pretty close in eyeballing a calorie count, but it took years of weighing and logging to get to that point.

    Looks yummy! If that's chicken then I'd probably have something that looks similar at least one night a week, but with a bit of rice thrown in. as the other's have said you can have Mac n Cheese, just get some weighing scales and bosh, you become the master of your food! :smiley:

    Decent scale only costs like $20, too. So worth it!

    (Meal looks sensible, OP - good show!)
