  • higher-fat protein meals — 28g protein with 16g fat / 100g
  • people who under-eat fat and bounce off super-lean diets
  • double-counting oil or butter you already logged separately
  • assuming “protein” means low calorie — fat drives energy density here

How to log it

Log the cut/state you actually have (skin-on, marbled, etc.). 1 piece (180g) (~180g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Works when the rest of the day is lighter on oils and nuts. Watch the weekly fat budget, not just the meal selfie.
