I can smell some popcorn right now. So tempting. But I mustn't mess up my day calorie-wise. I only had about 1000-1200 calories today. Got some exercise in, too. Not a lot of food, I know. But if done every now and then, it does sure help subtract from the overall number of calories I consume.
I looked up Chipotle, their burrito is 950 calories.

Well i've seen people complain about expensive but NYC actually was expensive. I had hardly any money left.
You know.. $10 for a box of cereal and so on. (I paid that for Frosties). I also paid $16 in the Capitol Hill cafe for chips and chicken and a drink.

I don't doubt it. I had some leftover fries for breakfast with Thousand Island dressing dip. No too many fries, though, so maybe 300 calories there. Plus a small glass of milk. No lunch. A few pieces of string cheese plus a 100 calorie ice cream bar. 310 calories. One hot dog (with a bun, of course), and a little salad (only very light dressing). I'm thinking it adds up to no more than 1200.

You should download myfitnesspal. Good way to count calories without having to "estimate" in your head. lol
Once I went for an 8 mile bike ride to get dinner (short story: didn't have any food on me, was in a rural area and only had a bicycle). Had a nice burrito* for dinner. Did I come out ahead? Or was the work done to get the food more than any energy I gained?
*Was in a Mexican grocery store that was geared mainly for Mexican customers, but they were friendly
That's why it was expensive. You want cheap in NY, go everywhere except the southern part of the island
