Depends: On how many colonies you eat the rest of the day.

500 cal lunch.: Two points to make here. (1) a 500 calorie lunch is fine in the context of the nutritional recommendation that one eats 5-6 small meals daily to optimize digestion and calorie utilization - as such all meals can be rather small. (2) your lunch should be comprised of good stuff - lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and fiber - not 500 calories of junk, of course.
