The whole thing weighted 1025 grams.
This is the description of the dish. "TRI- COLOR BOWTIES – With chicken mushroom bacon, corn, pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, herb cream sauce, and fresh mozzarella".
I estimate that about a whole maybe 1 and a half chicken breasts were used. It definitely was greasy, the cheese was all on top, a lot of bow ties, mushrooms here and there not too many, the bacon I could taste it but I couldn't really feel it like a whole piece of bacon for example. The sauce definitely used cream, you can tell but it wasn't mainly cream and all white like Alfredo for example.
I did an estimate before and I put down about 2000 calories i think, but I want other opinions.
Thanks for the help.

2000 seems fair. this looks so delicious
hey truffles ! 🤟🏽
i used my secret internet skills and managed to deduce you got this from Pasta Max Cafe in McDonough 😛
this was a bit helpful since their yelp and google review page provides some more illustrative context to the size of their pastas and various ingredients they lean into…
that said, i greatly appreciate u weighing this out and id also say we could expect this container to be ≈25g alone so the actual meal right around ≈1000 grams.
so lets break this down the best we can…
pasta (bow-tie; boiled; ≈275g cooked) ≈440
chicken (breast; skinless; ≈7oz/≈200g cooked) ≈315
bacon (pan-fried; ≈2 medium slice or ≈20g cooked) ≈55
herb cream sauce ([sonoma gourmet reference](https://sonomagourmet.com/products/lemon-herb-ricotta); ≈195g) ≈280
mozz (fresh; whole milk; ≈3oz/≈85g) ≈210
veggies (mushroom, corn & peppers; sauteed; ≈225g cooked) ≈100
running estimate: ≈***1400 calories @*** ≈***1000g weight!!*** 🙂
