One meal almost equals a day of calories

This doesn't make sense to me as my total calories in the nutrition tracker says 1625. Does this mean that I can only have one more meal today?

Are you sure you input the right measurements? i.e., maybe you selected Tablespoon instead of teaspoon or something like that. I had that happen a couple of times. I just input what you ate into my Fitday log using 1 oz. of cheddar cheese, 1 T. of butter (assuming you used it) and even if the slice of bacon was thick it only came to 471 calories. The cheddar cheese is 114 per oz. and one ounce is not a lot, so maybe that is the problem? A thick slice of bacon is 69 calories, a thin slice is 29. Even at 471 calories this is a very high fat breakfast. I have been doing one whole egg plus two or three egg whites (no fat and about 16 calories per white). If I want cheese I use grated parmesan, 1 to 2 T (39 calories), and use about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to cook. I avoid bacon altogether. With my substitutions it only adds up to 217 calories. Anyway, still sounds like something is wrong in the fitness tracker.
