Fix: Measure oil with a tablespoon instead of pouring freely. 1 tbsp = 120 kcal.
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 (252.9-379.3 kcal).
Fix: Use the Hint app to scan and log the exact portion you eat for accurate tracking.
