Trying to figure my calories for the night before I get home. I have 2 little ones so when I get home its a mad rush for my attention.

My wife is making shrimp and bay scallop scampi. When I do a search I am finding everything from 350-850 calories? She doesn't use cream or cheese

Ingredients

Butter - Allot of butter
Garlic
Shrimp - about 6
Scallops - about 6
Spinach
Pasta - about 2 scoops of pasta with a pasta spoon (guessing 2 cups of pasta).

I have about 800 calories left for the day. I don't want to eat to little ( I already don't eat back my exercise calories) I also don't want to go over

    If she is making it, can she give you the exact recipe that she uses? They you can just plug the information into the recipe tools to get the calorie count.
