I went to my daughter's school this morning for tea. They served a buffet of refreshments. No idea how many calories or what was served. I was thinking about entering it as 'quick added calories' but I have no idea for how much.
What do you guys think? How many calories on this little plate?

Can you explain what's on the plate? The bread is the calorie monster there.0

Three finger sandwiches (two different kinds of pimento cheese and a PBJ)
Ham & cream cheese pinwheel
A tiny portion of quiche
Red velvet drop cookie
Mini vanilla cupcake
2 green olives with pimentos
and one big fat muscadine0 -
I'd probably guess in the 650+ range from what I can see...not easy to estimate from a picture though.0
-
40 grams carbs, 14 grams protein, 12 grams of fat = 324 calories has my vote0
-
Wow! I was really thinking in the 300 to 400 range. Remember that these are super tiny portions.0
-
my guess would be 700-800 calories0
-
i would say 400-500 calories0

You would be surprised to know what goes into these yummy little finger foods! I honestly would say anywhere from 700+. I have a church brunch every Tuesday after a bible study and I am amazed at how little I eat and how many cals I consume. I usually try and find things that are similar to what I ate in the food lists and go form there.0
-
I would try to recall what it was and add it all individually instead of quick add -- a bit of work for sure but probably closer to reality and then you'll also have a better idea of macros if you track those. You can figure out approx how many pieces of bread, meat, cream cheese, cupcakes & fruit you ate better than the picture and a guess can reflect.0
-
Depending on the bread and if mayo was used....425 as said earlier is pretty good0
-
400-500 would be my guess.0
-
I love how the sandwiches at the Four Seasons have calories . . . but no fat, carbs, or protein. They must be pure alcohol!0 -
would be fun to get that MEALSNAP app and compare!
(sorry i'm terrible at guessing - it's why i re-joined here after quitting!)0 -
Well I took someone's suggested and just guessed at entries. That came out to around 475 calories! :noway:
Look's like I'll be out jogging tonight.0 -
They may be tiny portions, but ham, PB, cheese, bread, eggs and desserts can add up pretty quick. Personally it is better to overestimate than under so that you don't go over too much.0
-
I try to dissect the food and then go from there..0
-
Well there's a frostingy thing. That's easily 100 by itself. The bits of fruit could be about 50. The breads are the tricky part. Plus it looks like there a lot of mayo/cream cheese type things in there. So each of those could be 100-200 each. There's three or four "white" things... Altogether (100+50+150(3)) should give you roughly 600 calories.0
-
Probably above 650 and maybe as much as 1200. Wow!!! I usually only grab fruit when we have a spread like that and if there is no fruit, I just drink coffee and water.0
