How do I compare an argument's size to an arbitrary number of megabytes?

So, I want to compare a piece of codes number of megabytes.
What I think the answer is:
#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1
export FILE1
if [ -f$1 ];
then
echo "Hello world!"
fi
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "This file is less than 1 megabyte"
fi
Of course, I don't think this is the fullest answer, as I'm just comparing a file argument to the number 1, so how would I know if this is greater than the number 1 in bytes or megabytes? Does Bash already account for this? Or is there a command I can use to translate to megabytes?
