I absoloutely love Japanese food... But the calorie count I'm not quite sure about?

The lunch boat includes

Salad (i'll get mine w/o dressing)
Miso Soup
Small bowl of rice (shaped like a ball - it's the sticky rice kind)
2 Torpedo shrimp tempura
2 small slices of sweet potato tempura
about a handfull of teriyaki chicken
an orange
4 california sushi pieces
plain sugar snap peas
3 pieces of sashimi (two are bright pink and one is beefy red)

If you have ANY ideas on the calorie amount of this meal, let me know!! I've been craving it for a while!!

Thanks!

You really have to break it up into its part

Salad - negligble calories without dressing, probably 10 or so
Miso soup - around 85
rice - around 169
2 shrimp tempura - around 162
2 sweet potato tempura - around 158 calories
teryaki chicken - around 240 calories
an orange - I assume you mean 1/4 orange? or orange slices - around 20 calories
4 pieces of california sushi - around 90 calories
sugar snap peas - around 20 calories
3 pieces of sashimi - I assume this is without any rice? This would be around 60 calories

So total is around 1014 calories. Of course there can be variations depending on how much teriyaki chicken they give you, how much rice they give you, how much batter they use for the tempura, etc. I'd estimate at 1100 calories and that would probably be a decent estimate.
