Where do these figures come from?

These are the figures the CalJoy app counts with when it recognises a dish in a photo, read from its food table rather than written for these pages. Regional dishes come from CalJoy’s regional table, per 100 g of a typical recipe. Generic foods such as rice, bread or fruit come from CIQUAL 2020, the food-composition table of ANSES, the French food safety agency. Recipes vary from one kitchen to the next, so read this as a typical serving, not as yours.
