How many calories? (Indian Feast)

Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at posting pictures,.
I went to the hair cutting ceremony for a friend's son this afternoon, and afterwards, we had a delicious Indian feast! I don't know half of what it was, except that it was all good! Top row: rice pudding, a "doughnut" that had been soaked in syrup, muttar paneer, and rice with some sort of sauce. Bottom row: Some type of vegetable fritter, potatoes/cauliflower/green beans, bread (pappadoms?), and a relish made with beets, carrots, radish, jicama and dried cranberries (less traditional on that one!). Blueberry rice pudding in the bowl.
ANY ideas at all how many calories this was? I don't expect anything even remotely exact, and no matter how many it turns out to be, we had a wonderful time, so it was definitely worth it, but it would be nice to know where to start.
Aaaaaand the picture doesn't work.

I searched on "how to post pictures" and am trying what I can from there.0

Have a look at the link I posted...
Looks very yummy - you will need to make the pic a bit smaller - it is also in the blog :-)0 -
Yep, looked at that one, too.
I made a photobucket account and uploaded the picture. I copied the URL and pasted it. I added the <img> tags, making sure they weren't uppercase. Don't know what else there is.0 -
You did it (and I uploaded it WAY too big, I see), but what did you do?0

I get it now, thanks, but apparently need to keep resizing the picture down.
Thanks again!
(can't believe I used to write HTML code back in the day . . .)0 -
Let's face it, it's probably taken you over your calories for the day!
So just stick in say 1000 calories, and enjoy the occasion.0 -
I'm sure it took me over my calories for the day! :drinker: And totally worth it, too. But it would be nice to have some sort of idea . . .
Also, it's been good for me to learn about posting pictures, which I apparently suck at.0 -
Yum, that looks like a delicious meal
The database here is truly amazing to me - if you type in Indian buffet you will find a number of entries to choose from.
Of course it's going to be a pretty rough estimate, but it will get some numbers and a record in there for you in the easiest way.0 -
That's gotta be over 1000 for sure.... to much deep fried stuff!! And the breads pack a punch all of their own.
Hate that indian food is so high cal.... my fave!0 -
Sorry - went shopping so did not see your question ....yes - you need to resize in Photobucket - rule of thumb - make sure that none of the numbers are bigger than 500 - if you hang your mouse over the top of the picture the resize option should come up.....
It is really tricky to post pics here - I must say I keep on going back to that tutorial every time I have to do it....0 -
The size is definitely the most challenging part for me!0
