Food weight and portion guide
Sabzi polo with fish (herb rice): calories and portions
Worked recipe estimate using listed ingredients and an assumed finished weight
This example uses cooked trout and a stated amount of oil. Fried fish or another species may differ.
This estimate uses the ingredients below and an assumed finished recipe weight of 1,800 g. It is a calculation, not a measurement of your meal. See ingredients and quantities.
Calculate your portion
Enter 0.1–5,000 g. Exclude inedible skin, stones and bones.
Does your finished recipe have a different weight?
Adjust the finished weight only when the ingredients and quantities below are identical and the difference comes from water. This setting does not account for added or removed meat, oil or other ingredients.
Enter 0.1–50,000 g. Default: 1,800 grams.

It is assumed that the mentioned ingredients and oil remain in the food. Absorbed or evaporated water is included in the final weight. Spices, salt and minor additives not mentioned are not calculated. If your composition is different, count the actual ingredients separately.
Tips for weighing and logging
Weigh rice and edible fish separately. Exclude bones.
To calculate manually, multiply your portion weight in grams by 149.3 and divide by 100. For example, 350 g provides approximately 522.7 kcal, assuming the same composition and final weight.
When logging a photo, check the food, cooking method and estimated portion before saving. A photograph cannot reliably show hidden oil or exact weight.
Sources and calculation method
We total the energy and macronutrients of the listed ingredients, divide by the assumed finished recipe weight and multiply by 100.Library method and limitations
