How this works
- The data. Each food is a row of MyFCD, the Malaysian Food Composition Database (Ministry of Health Malaysia, 1997 dataset), in kcal and grams of protein per 100 g edible portion.
- The sum. Calories = kcal per 100 g × your weight ÷ 100, and the same for protein. Nothing else is estimated or added.
- The limits. The data are decades old, and every stall scoops its own way. Egg, peanuts and cucumber are not in this list; with them, the basic plate in our article is about 612 kcal.
