It seemed like it, but... not so much after eating it? I had 1 small salad, no dressing, http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recip e/0,1977,FOOD_9936_33522,00.html meatloaf, except we cut the cheese in half (and i didn't eat the 1/4 cup pamesian on top) and about 4-5 oz pork. The lentil loaf seems so fattening now, and the recipe analyzing said 600 calories per serving! YIKES!!!!!!!!!! Maybe if I hadn't had about 400 calories worth of Saltines and Grasshoppers? Oh well, at least I know I'm under my personal limit.

The link doesn't take you to the right page.  It redirects to the home page.

Ooops, sorry, just CC being stupid. Try removing the space between recip and e.

Ok, there's a space between the two 9's.  Works now!
Well, first of all, just because something is slightly high in calories doesn't mean it's not healthy.

Second, it's got half a pound of cheese, 2 eggs,  2 tbls of butter, 1/4 cup parmesean cheese, plus another 3 tbls of olive oil in the sauce.  And 1 cup of rice and 3/4 cup lentils replace the meat in what appears to be a mock meat loaf, and those grains are not really low calorie either. 

Not really sure why you thought this was going to be a low calorie meal :)  Even with the changes you made, it's still got a lot of calories.  Adding ground pork in place of half the cheese...well, ground pork is not the leanest meat on the market.

Ah, well, we didn't do the sauce and we just cut the cheese in 1/2 or 1/3. Yeah. Oh well, at least I know I'll do better tomorrow.

Try using the recipe analyser on this site:

I use it a lot to see the calorie counts of my favorite recipes, then see what adjustments I can make to make them healthier. It's really handy.

I would say its pretty healthy, but what is 'healthy' is all relative. it does have a lot of fat so I wouldn't recommend it for weight loss. Of course too late now. it DOES sound really really delicious! So I hope it was.

and yeah it has "veggie" in the name but just a quick glance at the ingredients list is kind of telling that it was high calorie.
