How should I track Katino meze (Pork liver stew)?
Traditional dishes like Katino meze (Pork liver stew) are best tracked by weighing your actual portion, because recipes vary widely between households. Two versions of the same dish can differ by 30–50% in calories depending on how much oil, butter, or cheese was used. A meta-analysis (Wehling & Lusher, Am J Clin Nutr 2021) showed that people underreport calorie intake by 25–30% on average, and complex dishes with multiple ingredients are the hardest to estimate. When eating out, ask about preparation — it helps you make a more informed log entry.
