I think I passed my calorie intake limit...

I think I passed my calorie intake limit...

I just started dieting and working out after 2 years of mental and physical recovery. I'm trying my best so please be kind. I'm happy with my progress as long as I'm doing better than myself yesterday. Also I'm working with a personal trainer who has calculated my intake based on my own condition (1,200kcal).

Today is my first day of meal tracking and I couldn't weigh the food to measure the exact calories and nutritional value. I'm not sure how many grams of chicken breast, broccoli, or gyoza I've eaten, and I'm worried that I already passed the caloric intake limit of the day with one meal, a coffee, and a protein shake. I attached a picture of my lunch. It would be wonderful if someone could tell me if the estimate measures are somewhat accurate. Thank you!

Morning coffee: 350ml - 154kcal

Protein shake: 45g - 164kcal

+ Milk: 250ml - ~150kcal

Lunch (in the picture)

Brown rice: 110g - 80kcal

I did an estimate for the following based on the information of labels and google search:

Chicken breast' 120g? - ~230kcal

Broccoli: 100gr? - ~35kcal

Vegan kimchi gyoza: 3pcs 100gr? - ~150kcal

Salad with dressing: ~30kcal?

This would bring the total to of the lunch to ~540kcal

And the day so far to 1,250kcal

Either I did something wrong with measuring (which I really hope so) or I need to try better tomorrow and reduce my intake. If you have any advice on where I could reduce please let me know. Thank you so much!

⚠️ Trigger warning: mental health

I can't sleep because of this. A month ago I was urgently hospitalized after an attempt. I was unconscious at the time and I was admitted to a hospital. They didn't have a mental ward or something like that so I was only being treated for my physical state. The doctor said that I shouldn't drink water for an unspecified amount of time. I was extremely thirsty and for 9 hours they kept telling the doctor will come soon and decide. After hour 10 I was angry, I wanted to leave. I thought, this is exactly why I had an attempt, I don't want to feel discomfort or pain, but there I was, with uncertainty to when it will end. I wanted to leave so I just took the IV out myself and it made me bleed. A male nurse saw that and cursed at me then he pushed/hit my leg to make me sit sown. I'm not sure how to describe it... But I wa sure it wasn't unintentional. It felt very intentional and filled with anger. My sister and another person were there and saw it. My sister said it was obvious that he wanted to hurt me or that he was angry with me. However there were no cameras. After he hit my leg my sister and I yelled at him, which made other nurses come in. He tried to come near me again but I got scared and kicked him. The other nurses told me that I was assaulting him. I tried to explain that he had hit me. He claimed that he only slightly pushed me. And when I told the doctor in charge he had no reaction and said "I see, so you remember the event that way huh?" and just moved on. I knew trying to explain my situation would be useless, I don't think there were any cameras. And the only witnesses are me, my sister, and a stranger. I'm not sure if it's worth taking legal action either. It's just something that hurt me very emotionally. A place that I went for to get help, ended up giving me more damage.
