What causes the difference

In these two examples, the changes are: whole grains — potato → brown rice, protein — white fish → pork.

Protein: White fish → PorkWhole grains: Potato → Brown rice
  • Same plate template, different protein quarter: lean white fish versus grilled pork changes that part of the plate.
  • The grain quarter shifts too: boiled potato is lighter than brown rice at the same weight.
  • Half the plate remains broccoli with the same drizzle of olive oil. The protein and grain quarters create the difference.
