For lunch today, I had two cupcakes, a little Batman fruit snacks, and a
soda. estimated calories runs... let's see, that's 150-200 for the soda,
50 for the sugared vitamin c. count in about 600 for the cupcakes. That
leaves me with about 850 for my lunch.

I tend to eat small things (not appetite suppressants) for lunch. I just
deal.

If you calculate how muchfood value is in a pot of chili (fairly easy...
believe it or not), you can just divide among the number of servings to
get a calorie content.

I regularly eat brunches that have around a thousand calories in them. I
don't eat again till dinner, and then have something light.
