Uh oh... well I had a large bowl of it... which I think is probably 6 cups because I just found a bowl at home that looks to be the exact same size of the one I get in the restaurant and I measured it to be 6 cups of water.

So... 6 * 174 = 1044

Wow. Big lunch... ~1050 cals. :( At least now I know!

Thanks eveyone. :dizzy:
