Read the full disclaimer
Every number on this page (calorie targets, macro splits and any suggested meal plan) is produced by formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor for basal metabolic rate, standard activity multipliers) or, for AI-generated meal plans, by a language model applying those same formulas. On meal-plan pages the carbohydrate figure for each meal is calculated by difference: total calories minus protein and fat calories, divided by 4. It is not measured or estimated on its own, so read it as an arithmetic balance and not as an independent nutritional analysis of the dish. None of it is individualized medical or nutritional advice, and none of it has been reviewed by a registered dietitian, physician or other licensed healthcare professional.
Ask your doctor or a registered dietitian what is right for you before starting a new diet, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a diagnosed medical condition, take prescription medication, or have a history of disordered eating. If you have kidney disease or another medical condition, ask your clinician before raising protein.
Mealyno never recommends a calorie target below your calculated Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the minimum energy your body needs at complete rest. Even the most aggressive weight-loss setting is clamped at that floor.
Calorie and BMR estimates use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 1990).

Fried potato is a favourite side cooked in a cast-iron pan with onion and garlic.
Where the numbers come from
This dish has no single entry in the reference databases, so the values are calculated for a typical home recipe: ingredient shares multiplied by their composition in USDA and Ukrainian tables, including the fat that goes into the pan.
Sliced potato fried in oil with onion, without cracklings. Calories are derived from protein, fat and carbohydrate at 4, 9 and 4 kcal per gram, so the numbers on the page never contradict each other.
Your kitchen will differ: real calories for a dish like this are usually within ±15%, which for this portion means 315 to 425 kcal. See the Method page for sources and calculations. These are general guides, not medical advice.
What changes the calories
The potato absorbs oil, and the oil makes the difference: 100 to 200 kcal per portion from the fat alone. Oven-baked with a spoon of oil it comes out about half as caloric.
Extras that change the portion
Ingredients
potato, onion, oil, salt
How it fits in a day
A 370 kcal portion is about 19% of a nominal 2,000 kcal day. Your own daily need depends on weight, height, age and activity, so use a calorie calculator for a real target.
By energy source the dish splits into 6% from protein, 48% from carbohydrate and 46% from fat.
Count your own portion
Portions differ for everyone. To avoid guessing, photograph your own plate: the free Calories from a photo tool estimates the dish, the portion weight, calories and macros in a few seconds, with no signup. One scan a day.
Without a photo: multiply 185 kcal by the weight of the cooked dish in grams and divide by 100. For example, 250 g is about 463 kcal.
