What causes the difference

The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Fat: Vegetable oil → ButterProteins: + BaconToast: + Wheat
  • Two eggs in a thin film of oil with sauteed tomato and spinach: the vegetables are mostly water, so they stretch the plate while barely moving the calories (the real 'with vegetables' variant sits at ~172 kcal per 100 g vs ~196 plain).
  • The fry-up flips every dial the same direction: three eggs, a generous knob of butter, then bacon, sausage and melted cheddar — each of them denser than the egg itself.
  • The slice of toast under it soaks the butter and pushes the plate further from breakfast toward banquet.
