Menu nutrition calculators are so inaccurate.

today i had eaten most of my calories in the earlier day and wanted a low-calorie but voluminous and filling dinner. so what did i turn to? stuff’d!! their daily bowl, based on the nutrition calculator for soba + mash + broccoli + salmon + base, was ~230 calories. however, i got curious this time when i bought it, because how can THAT much soba be 39 calories? i’ve been eating stuff’d almost every weekend, thinking it’s ~200 calories. however, today i weighed everything out, and found that they gave me TWICE the amount of mashed potatoes and THREE TIMES the amount of soba!! in the end, it all amounted to almost 500 calories.

this means i’ve probably been going over my intended intake by 300 calories for the past few months. like, it’s only during the weekends i’ve ordered this, but imagine how much damage it can do to another person’s weight loss if they ate stuff’d every day thinking it’s so low in calories. The nutrition calculator had mistaken 500 calories worth of food for 200 calories, so i imagine meals calculated as 600 calories on stuff’d nutrition calculated might be a lot higher in actuality.

TLDR; i’m never eating stuff’d again :”)
