250 kcal
4 g protein
Fat 5.5 g · carbs 44 g · fibre 1 g · Vegan
Portion: cooked rice. Calculated from USDA FoodData Central
The base of every silog breakfast. The egg and the meat beside it are separate items.
With and without oil
The same 1 cup, changing only the oil the garlic is fried in. Normal is about 5 g in this portion. A little halves the recipe’s fat and a lot doubles it, so in a portion of the same weight a lot comes out a little under double. These are the four levels the app asks about, with the same numbers.
| Oil | Added | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| None | 0 g | 210 kcal | 4 g |
| A little | 2.5 g | 230 kcal | 4 g |
| Normal | 5 g | 250 kcal | 4 g |
| A lot | 10 g | 280 kcal | 4 g |

The recipe behind these numbers
Raw ingredient weights in one 1 cup, scaled from the batch recipe in the Homekcal app’s dish table, with normal oil. Water, salt and spices add almost no energy but are listed so the recipe is complete. If your version has more of something, the numbers move with it.

How this was worked out
This is the same dish the Homekcal app logs, from the same table. Each raw ingredient’s weight is multiplied by its per-100 g values in USDA FoodData Central, the batch is added up and divided by the cooked weight it makes. Calories are rounded to the nearest 10 and grams to the nearest gram, because a standard recipe is not your recipe. These are calculated values, not weighed or lab tested meals, and home versions vary a lot.
