03 / IN REAL LIFE

From number to plate.

Dry weight is not the same as hydrated weight; measure the form you eat.

The sample is plain couscous after cooking. If your recipe starts from the dry product, use dry-product grams and values; vegetables, oil and added protein form the rest of the meal.

A table helps you orient yourself; the plate you cook or order has its own ingredients and quantities. For a useful estimate, record what you know, correct what seems off and consider the meal in the context of your habits, without turning a number into a verdict.
