- Corrections replace portion guesses while retaining the same USDA rate; oil remains uncertain until the user answers.
Field notes
The worked example maps a 240 g salmon portion to a USDA FoodData Central entry at 2.06 kcal/g; changing the selected size reruns that same rate. Hidden oil is handled separately: the page says it counts one tablespoon until the user chooses otherwise, and shows the estimate range narrowing after an answer. For packaged foods, the page describes barcode matching or nutrition-label entry, followed by an adjustable serving amount.
