Calories help??

I bought this at stripes. It has honey dew, melon, grapes, watermelon, and strawberries. About how many calories?

100-125. Maybe a bit more if there are lots of grapes.

It might be time for you to start becoming comfortable with estimating on your own. You've posted several threads asking others to determine calorie counts for you. Learning how to estimate is a valuable skill for maintenance.

If you took the fruit home, you could have weighed each type and had an accurate count. If you ate it on the go, you could use cup sizes to estimate. You're the one who ate it and could see everything in the cup. Was there maybe a third of a cup of each fruit? You could use the USDA entries by cup and have a reasonable estimate, rather than asking others to estimate based on a picture.

Or at least count the individual pieces of each fruit and get an estimate of calories in the database.

As we've told you in other posts you've made about this same question. We cant give you an accurate estimate of calories from a picture or your description. Please use a food scale and weigh your food.

OP with a quick google I found this site talking about a cup of mixed fruit. I have no idea how big your cup was but maybe you can figure it out from here.

You will own your diet if you take charge of it instead of having to depend on others. You can find about anything if you google.

Today I ate fajitas from a local restaurant. It forced me to guess at the calories which I did by comparing to some others online and using my best judgement. This isn't a problem because the rest of my log for the week has been accurately logged. It also isn't a problem because I feel really good about my guess. I have weighed and logged so much food I have a good sense about it.

You've got to start mentally counting and then doing this math.
How many grapes?
How many pieces of pineapple?
How many pieces of watermelon?
How many pieces of cantaloupe?

Look them up. Log them. See what it looks like.
Next time, you can copy that, or you can find a "Mixed fruit cup" entry that matches the number of calories you just calculated.
