Best for
- mixed meals — 333 kcal with P/C/F roughly 13/32/18 g per 100g
- quick logs when you ate a prepared dish not a single ingredient
Watch out
- restaurant variance — your bowl may not match the generic entry
- missing sides and drinks that came with the dish
How to log it
Start from a weighed portion when you can. 1 piece (~17g) is the practical unit in the app. Adjust if your version is saucier or bigger.
Where it fits the day
Use as a whole-meal proxy, then add obvious extras (oil, cheese, bread) rather than pretending the entry covers them.
