Calories and fat in "gulf gathering"

Taking all the above into consideration, following is an estimation for what a “gulf gathering” entails in terms of calories and fat:

One handful of “kabsa” rice contains 50 calories
One handful of meat contains 2.3g worth of fat
This means that 20 handfuls of rice, 10 of which contain meat amounts to around 1100 calories, which constitutes half of the daily calorie intake.

Note: the numbers above do not take into consideration the added fat to the rice, desserts, and date and nuts served with coffee and tea before dinner.

Result

If you don’t control what you eat in these gatherings, you could easily end up exceeding your daily intake of calories and fat in one meal.
