Why it matters: Excess oil can double the calorie content without adding nutritional value.
Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.
Why it matters: The nutrition values are for 1 standard serving. Eating 2-3x the serving means 2-3x the kcal (728.9-1093.3 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
Why it matters: Eating rice with another starchy dish doubles the glycemic load, causing sharp blood sugar spikes.
