Both directions are legitimate — the score measures fullness per calorie, not virtue. Every version is the same dish, rebalanced.
Ingredients
- 3 egg150 g
- 1 tbsp butter12 g
- 1/3 red bell peppers, diced50 g
- 2 tbsp yellow onions, diced30 g
- a handful baby spinach30 g
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded30 g
- a pinch salt1 g
- to taste black pepper1 g
Every ingredient links to its food page — same data, same score, same formula.
Steps
- Sauté the pepper and onion in half the butter until soft, wilt in the spinach, and set the vegetables aside.
- Whisk the eggs with the salt. Melt the rest of the butter over medium, pour in the eggs, and pull the set edges toward the middle while tilting the runny egg outward.
- When the top is nearly set, lay the vegetables and cheese over one half.
- Fold, slide onto the plate, and eat while the cheese is still molten.
Why this score
easy to overeatDense calories with little protein, volume or fiber to fill you up.
Three routes to fullness — one is enough
What pulls it down
Nothing here converges the way engineered food does — no sugar, no savoury and no alcohol penalty.
Computed on the finished dish, not an average of the parts: 468 kcal goes into the pot, 304 g of ingredients comes out as ~260 g of food → 180 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water, and energy density is the score's biggest lever — so we show the math. Full formula here.
