A hell of a lot!

Dymo

1 and a half cups of fried rice 450 calories
Chip Shop Chips Calories (1 Serving=1 Reg Serving/400g) 956 calories
Curry Sauce 3 table spoons I'm guessing to put over your chips 140 calories.

So approx 1,546 calories :eek:

Hope it's worth it.:)

I find it amazing how hard it is to find nutritional information on that kind of takeaway food but I don't think 1000 ish is a bad guess at all, it could be 100-200 sauce, chips 400 ish rice would be 400 (for a small tray) ish I'm guessing although there might be only a few chips in it 700-1000 ish but I'm unfortunately guess it all depends on portion and extra oil in it, also those ready made curry and rice packs are 550 calories (and they're smaller!) on average so add to that the fried rice as opposed to boiled, and then a portion of oven chips is 300 calories and those Chinese chips soak up the oil so that adds a lot.

hope that helps.7

EDIT to post above... theres not a whole portion of chips in the small 3 in 1, but the chips are oil so I'd say half that amount if not a quarter would be in the portion.

You're probably right about the sauce but the chips are close to being twice that figure.

150g of cooked brown rice is ~280 calories. Rice in a 3-in-1 in fried rice and you get maybe 300-400g.

I'd estimate it at ~1400-1500 calories. Not exact but that's a solid enough guideline I reckon.

You would not fit all that in a "small 3 in 1". It is all the things combined in a tray the size you normally get your rice in. A large 3 in one is in the longer tray like a chow mein. You really have to weigh the stuff. In the local Chinese's I go to I would have estimated about 700-800kcal, it is probably only 1/3 the normal bag of chips, 1/2 a rice and not much curry sauce -thats what I get, or rather I do not get them as I think its poor value.


here are some takeaways I estimated before.

Bag of chips from Italian chipper 455g

Going off mc-cains site their premium chips are 253kcal and 7.2g fat sat per 100g

So 1,151kcal and 33g sat fat so 24.5points for the bag.
http://points.ogo.ms/

There is an interview with the italian chipper association guys on youtube, one guy said they used lard, another said a typical fish & chips has about 800kcal! no way in hell!

Just back from the Chinese now, chips weighing in at 395g, so 853kcal, 4.3g sat fat, so 13.5 points. Again that is conservative using the McCains figures which are probably lower than usual to appear lower in cals.

YOu can get values for burgers on mcdonalds, their chips are far smaller than a chipper would have.

I got a rogan josh from letseatin, combined weight of rice and lamb & sauce was 960g, over twice what most ready meals would be.

I got a singapore chow mein last week, weighed 800g.
Using this calculator http://points.ogo.ms/
I hit 5.5 points at 370kcal presuming zero fat (and it was fairly greasy)
That means if this was true then it was 46.25kcal per 100g. I would estimate it at 250kcal per 100g though, this is comparing it to supermaret ready meals and the fact that the noodles are much denser, i.e. not boiled to death where they take up lots of water. A single pack of 80-100g dry supernoodles can be 550-600kcal. I would also conservatively estimate 5% fat since it was fried noodles & meat and quite oily, so 40g of fat, and 20g goes in my calculator. So using the same calculator I would estimate 33.5points.

My usual was chicken balls, curry sauce, chips (I know not chinese!).

I got it and it weighed loads, always did. So I got home and weighed each to see what I used to be eating.
Chips- 520g (no joke! my scales is fine)
Chicken balls- 350g
Sauce- 200g.

I reckon the chips are ~250kcal per 100g, chicken ~300kcal/100g, sauce 150kcal/100g. Those are probably conservative figures, chicken balls are really just donuts, and sauce is probably loaded with oil.

So probably at least 2500kcal in all.

back from "lets eat in", the portions looked small compared to the usual chinese/indian takeaways huge helpings. They are in cubic boxes so it is deceiving. I am in work & had a scales handy, I also like to calculate calories to show people the reality of takeaway portions, rice was 310g, korma was 520g. 830g in total, now most microwave kormas are 300-400g, so it is over twice that. The rice was the size of a decent mug.

I would guess at least 1200kcal, will have to have a look at some rich korma sauce labels and try and figure it out better.
