I’m very aware this is hard to calculate because I don’t know every ingredient that was put into this, but please just a rough estimate on what you think,

This is from a local Mexican restaurant. It’s chicken, Mexican rice, coleslaw and chipotle sauce. What do you think?

TIA xx

It's zero calories for me I'm afraid.

It looks ummm...

No idea but it looks like it's already been eaten once.

Oh op that looks vile!!

Where's the colourful veggies and sauce?! Gross.

I'd estimate 500 cals.

I don't know but it looks utterly grim

That looks like vomit inside a bin. Think you need to take a better photograph.

It does not look like any fajita I have ever bought or cooked myself . There is nothing fresh and colourful. I reckon very heavy on the calories because of the sauce and big dollop of coleslaw- 900. - 1000 cals ?

I'd guess 700ish

200 rice
200 chicken
150 chipotle (if it's mayo based)
150 coleslaw

Maybe another 100 or so if rice is oily

Although could be a few hundred more if portion is big, hard to tell from pic

Thank goodness it’s not just me, that looks totally unappetising. I’d not touch it.

I know you didn't invite comments on the meal, OP, but bloody hell. When you said "fajita bowl" I wasn't expecting that... Being charitable, it's not a bowl and it's certainly not like any fajita I've ever seen or eaten!

But to your calorie question: it's impossible to say without knowing what's in it and how big it is. E.g. now much majo is in the sauce / coleslaw, how much oil it was cooked in, what the unidentifiable ingredients are...

This thread is over 4 months old and that "fajita bowl" looked even older.
