>How do you know what range of calories to target? Or that the labels are correct? How many calories are in the burger from that food truck? A range of 2,500-3,000 seems to be a good fit for me. I'm a 5'9" adult male with a light workout schedule. I don't expect labels to be 100% on target but I do expect them to be close enough for my rough estimates. The food truck may not list the calorie count for the burger but I've probably eaten all the ingredients in the burger before. From experience of noticing nutritional content in the past, I can tell if it has more fat (lots of mayo, extra cheese), sugar (ketchup) and overall calories (heavy, overall size of the meat patty) than ones I've had in the past. The caloric content is not the only tool, it's one of the many tools you should have when trying to keep a healthy diet.
