03 / IN REAL LIFE

From number to plate.

The weight refers to the cooked edible part, without shell or dressing.

Count the weight of cleaned shrimp, not a tray that includes shells and heads. The sample is boiled or steamed; oil, sauce or breading belong to the rest of the recipe.

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.

04 / SOURCE AND LIMITS

Which food did we measure?

We selected an identifiable sample from the source below. Energy and macronutrients are per 100 g of edible food; the interactive portion is a simple proportion. It is not a measurement of your plate.
