What is the actual argument? say it was 1000kcal for the particular portion sizes you had, one person could guess 1300kcal, and the other 700kcal, as they are only guessing what brands and portion sizes you are using. Only a 30% difference either way, but almost double the difference, and neither person is "wrong".

To do it right you need a scales and the information on your packets. If there is no info on the pack get the closest equivalent product you can find that does have it. e.g. if you get proper ham in the butcher do not go getting info from heavily watered down reformed ham, which is low in protein and high in fat, try and get a decent brand of "real" ham with info on it.

It's what my sister is eating in a whole day. Going with all the info on the packets its working out to me at about 818 calories. She thinks its double it!
