Is this too much to eat in one day (before I’ve had dinner).

Two slices of toast (I only eat toast once a week)
A bowel of porridge and honey
Some pineapple
A yogurt
An apple
2 (only 40 calorie) hot chocolates
A crab stick
A rice cake
And half an oatmeal cookie

I feel like think I’ve eaten a lot, but when I wrote it down it didn’t look as much. Would you consider this a lot of food
I’m having barneys (if anyone doesn’t know what this is I’ll put a link below, its really nice and low calorie plus if your vegetarian just leave out the meat) Monday night rice fore dinner and probably fruit for desert so is that too much? if anyone doesn’t know what this is here’s the recipe its really nice and low calorie

    You're just going to have to log it and see how many calories you're left with. If that amount is enough to get you through supper, good job.

    That looks like breakfast, maybe breakfast and a snack at the most. Where's your protein?

    That's probably just barely 1200 calories.

    In other words, nope. Not enough.

    That would keep me going untill dinner. Would still need a proper meal after that.

    I normally eat that much before lunch, so no, doesn't look like a lot of food to me.

    Actually its 750 calories. You do notice I said it was before dinner didn’t you?

    I didn't notice the before dinner bit. I think 750 calories over the day with dinner still to go would be fine.

    I don't know, is it too much? Is it over your daily calories? Log and it find out...

    Wouldn't recommend a "bowel" of anything. Unsanitary.
