Pizza & sushi: track “complex food” without self-deception

“Complex food” isn’t “bad food”. It just has more variables: portion size, sauces, oil, drinks.

Pizza: portions are everything

• Common mistake: treating “2–3 slices” as a single portion.
• Easier framing: small / normal / large portion and pick honestly.

Sushi: sauces and add-ons matter most

• Soy sauce, mayo sauces, cream cheese, tempura — these are typical “leaks”.
• Rolls vary a lot by filling and sauce; use that as your mental model.

A tiny rule

When unsure, choose a slightly more conservative (higher) portion estimate. It beats undercounting.
