    I have no idea.

    What is in that last picture? It looks like creamed peas with a lemon wedge and shaved chocolate.

    I found many suggestions and all very different from each other
    1 half bbq chicken -> 700 cal
    1 half bbq chicken -> 135 cal
    ....

    which one should I use

    I would venture to guess that your in the 1500- 1800 range.

    Looking at your salad I figured about 30 cals for your veg, and that looks like greek dressing which in the version I make is 57 cals per tablespoon. Half a chicken I imagine is 300-400 range then add whatever marinades or bbq sauce which I'm sure nets you another 100.

    I haven't seen a serving of french fries under 500 cals yet so I'm gonna call that 500.

    Now the soup, I enjoy homemade split pea soup which I figure is pretty similar to what you have there which rings in at about 450-500 a bowl.

    If the salad has olive oil then add about 130 calories per tablespoon.

    I'd call it at about 2,200 - that salad looks like it has oil, the chicken has skin-on, (and looks to be served a top a pita that is probably at least 300) and those fries and fried pita-looking things pack some cals as well.

    ETA: To the "is it healthy" question...it's certainly not unhealthy, but if it were me I'd save some cals by nixing the pita and pita chips, subbing out fries for a larger salad (with dressing on the side) and the bowl of soup for a cup, and asking for no skin on the chicken (because I don't have the willpower to not eat it if it shows up on my plate). But you are a 25 year-old male, so can probably afford these cals.

    Neither sound correct for 1/2 chicken to me. Whether you eat or discard the skin will make a huge difference in calories, though.
