Well it's 644 cos you measured everything and that's what it adds up to....? Unless you didn't measure on scales and just estimated?0 -

If you used chicken breast, this sounds about right to me, calorically speaking. It looks good, too! Enjoy, OP!0

Looks about right, depending on how much oil was used in the cooking. The rice is a very small portion, the green beans are visually huge but have low calorie density, and the meat is lean.
That's a pretty nicely balanced meal, actually, looks yummy!

Amazing isn't it !!!!!
Big plate of food at a good calorie amount. All goes to what you choose to eat and how it is cooked.....ie, chicken/beans.
No sauces, butters, creams, etc....

What's in the marinade? 39 cals seems low, but if you've measured...then good job! Restaurant meals this size would have a huge calorie bottom line because of all the added butters, oils, etc.0

Looks like a healthy meal to me. You want it to be more calories? Green beans are super low in calories which probably explains a bit there... so I am not surprised.0
