FOOD STATE MATTERS
How preparation changes the nutrition estimate
A reliable calorie entry should describe the food you actually ate—not merely a food with a similar name.
Canned white hominy
Selected reference.
Drained or rinsed
Do not assume a nutrient change without a matching record.
Dry hominy
Use a dry-state record.
Pozole or side dish
Log the complete recipe.

PHOTO LOGGING
How to log canned white hominy more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
- 01
Match the exact reference state: Hominy, canned, white.
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the same local USDA record, while explicitly labelled gram examples are calculated.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
