If your breakfast has two separately listed foods, one item’s nutrition cannot represent both. Build the order from the exact portions and any drink or spread you include. A menu photo of a breakfast arrangement does not establish the included nutrition.
Write the order before adding
Imagine a fictional sandwich listed at 310 calories and 18 g protein, plus a yogurt listed at 120 calories and 9 g protein. Those two portions sum to 430 calories and 27 g protein. A separately listed 80-calorie drink raises energy to 510 without changing the known protein unless its own source supplies a protein amount.
Keep unavailable fields unavailable
If the drink’s protein is unknown, 27 g is the food-only subtotal, not a verified complete-order protein total. Do not infer its grams from the drink name. If the source lists 0 g, you can use that documented value instead.
A breakfast name is not a serving definition
Check whether the sandwich listing includes a spread, sauce or cheese. Check whether the yogurt is the whole container or a smaller serving. GetMacros records should keep exclusions visible so a standalone breakfast item is not mistaken for a combo.
The FDA serving and menu resources support reading the basis and seeking the written information. All figures here are invented. They explain how to assemble a ledger, not what to eat at breakfast. Compare complete defined orders in the finder or consult the restaurant’s own information when your combination differs from a tracked entry.
