Guess the Calories

Fair food:
4 risotto mozzarella bites, about 2" diameter, breaded coating, deep fried, with 1 tsp of a creamy chipotle sauce.
1 beaver tail (fried dough, about 8" by 4" by 1/2" thick) with cinnamon sugar, about 1 tbsp
Quesadilla with shredded beef, 10" tortilla folded over, ate 3/4
1 355 ml can peach cider, 5% alcohol

Risotto bites - 250 calories each, 1000 total.
Beaver tail - 350 calories (similar to a fried donut)
Quesadilla - assume 500 calories for the entire thing, so 375 calories for the portion you ate
Cider - 150 calories (same as beer)

Total - 1875 calories at the fair.

Ok need help on this one:

Two slices of restaurant pizza - one as a meat lovers, one Greek style.
My two slices were 1/4 of a 20" pizza.
Not a very thick crust pizza .

I would say about 900 for both. The meat a few more than the Greek. Depending on how "meaty/greasy/overflowing/thick crust/generous" they were I might tilt that +/- 50 to 100

144g of (relatively heavy quantity of) Filo wrapped around (relatively not too much) lightly sweetened cream/custard type filling with a (relatively) small amount of simple sugar syrup drizzled on top.

Three small/medium turnover sized "pastries".

Made by a Kurdish lady.

I personally logged it as a Greek bougatsa but the filling to Filo ratio was less to more comparatively.

Ideas?

I'd guess 600 calories for the meat lovers (olive oil in tomato sauce adds almost as many calories as the crust). I don't know what the greek pie looked like but assuming no tomato sauce, some feta and lower calorie toppings (olives, grilled chicken), I'd assume 350 calories for that one.

900 is a reasonable estimate, maybe make it a nice round 1000 to be on the safe side..

What about my nachos with chicken, guac, sour cream, cheese, and deep fried chips (I think) from the mexican food truck? It was the size of a large fry tray. I didn't eat all the chips but I did eat all of the ones with stuff on them! Then I ate half a bag (big bag) of freaking cotton candy. (At a fall fair). Should have taken a pic for sure.

Let's assume that you got 4 ounces of chips (about 1/4 of a big bag) but only ate 3. That's about 400 calories. We'll assume that you got a quarter cup each of sour cream (180 calories) and guac (100 calories). And 3 ounces of grilled chicken breast (150 calories).

~850 calories for the nachos.

Good news about cotton candy is that its almost all air. Call that 150 calories and be done with it.

1000 calories goes to the fair.
