Common Mistakes
Not measuring serving size
Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (280.9-421.3 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
Overcooking the vegetables
Why it matters: Overcooking destroys heat-sensitive vitamins (C, B-complex) and reduces fiber quality.
Fix: Cook vegetables until just tender. Add delicate vegetables (like spinach or capsicum) in the last 2-3 minutes.
