Hey guys me and a friend of mine are chatting about how many callories has each thing
He said:

Uhm. Well yesterday for lunch I had half a chicken sandwich, a tomato and banana pepper salad with half a tablespoon of olive oil, and a little trail mix. About 380 calories.

I disagree with him about the 380 calories as it would be a bit more than that, i would say it's about 600cals, but i need a second opinion
what do you guys think?
Cheers

    I would say the chicken sandwich and trail mix alone were about that...if the sandwich was dry and no cheese either... I would guess between 400-500....

    I'm sorry, when you said you wanted to chat about weight loss and fitness I thought you meant you wanted to chat, not tell me I don't know what I'm talking about or what I'm eating. And then bring it onto the forum without telling me prior.

    I have nothing to prove, and am now going to ignore this. But my lunch was 380 calories. I counted and measured, and I know what it is I ate.

    Wish you the best.

    :flowerforyou:

    Oh, and by the way. I'm a female. =)

    I'd say let her worry about what she's eating, and you worry about what you're eating. It could easily be 380 calories or 600 calories depending on the type / amount of mayo used, how much trail mix, etc.

    Hey dude, lay off. PMs are just that PERSONAL messages. Forum rules dictate that you do not talk abou PMs in the threads.

    ......not to mention the fact that *HE* has already lost the amount of weight *YOU* are working to lose..... I'm sure *HE* knows what he's talking about.

    It's even worse that it was MSN chat dragged onto MFP boards..... have some class, and you will do fine here. *smile* Don't.... and people will get defensive and protective.
