In this YouTube segment, Eric Roberts walks viewers through a visual estimation of the calories in his meals for a day aimed at a calorie deficit. He first estimates his breakfast—a sandwich composed of four slices of bread, eggs, and cheese—to be about 670 kcal. He then tackles a varied lunch buffet, assigning approximate calorie counts to each item: gua bao (~270 kcal), a piece of sushi (~70 kcal), a ham and cheese croissant (~340 kcal), a vegetarian spring roll (~80 kcal), a large cupcake (~350 kcal), a cup of cooked rice (~200 kcal), and a cup of apple juice (~420 kcal). He totals lunch at roughly 1,364 kcal and the day's intake so far at about 2,034 kcal, noting a protein intake of 77 g. The segment ends with a call‑to‑action directing viewers to a free calorie calculator linked in his bio.

This is going to be tough, but we'll see. Starting off what looks like a gua bao. No chance I said that correctly. About 270 calories. Piece of sushi, 70 calories. Hard to tell exactly what that is. Honestly, it looks like a ham and cheese croissant. We'll say 340 calories. Looks like some sort of vegetarian spring roll. We'll estimate 80 calories. Cupcake with icing the size of this guy's head, for about 350 calories. And you can see all of his plate is gone, and he had about a cup of cooked rice on there for about 200 calories. Calories.
