I don't know how many calories this adds up to be. The egg beaters
alone come to about 180 calories, if I am doing my math right. The rest
of the ingredients don't look to be too heavy in the amounts you give.
It seems to me, and I am in no way an expert, to be fairly balanced in
terms of nutrition. I suppose it really boils down to what you eat the
rest of the day as well. If you are eating fairly heavily during the
day, this might be a bit much. If you starve yourself during the day,
this might be a bit light. Hard to say, really, if it is good or bad
without knowing more.

Many of us who are on diets do weigh or measure everything we eat.
It may very well be "anal", but since we know that we have a problem
with knowing how much to eat without doing so, we are better doing so.
For many of us, the hassle of being anal is better than the hassle of
staying fat.

Your reply is highly ironic. 1/8 is an approximation.

Well, an average day for me consist of 5-6 meals no more than 400 calories
each. I'm just wondering if consuming a meal so close to bed will have an
effect on weight gain.

In general, measuring is good. But considering the caloric value of
onion and mushroom, I don't see how it matters. (Now, if the flavor
works best when the quantities are exact, that's different.)

I usually eat a pizza or two 2-3 mins before bed.

I just did a rough calculation of this using the Recipe Builder at WW's
website and it came up to a total of 12 points. I don't know if that helps
you or not.

I thought the list looked like the ingredients in a recipe. It could have
been an omelet - just didn't know about the slice of bread.

At some point, even veggies count as points.
