Best for
- higher-fat protein meals — 13g protein with 11g fat / 100g
- people who under-eat fat and bounce off super-lean diets
Watch out
- double-counting oil or butter you already logged separately
- assuming “protein” means low calorie — fat drives energy density here

Log the cut/state you actually have (skin-on, marbled, etc.). 1 large egg (~50g) is the practical unit in the app.
