What causes the difference

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

Sauce: Tomato sauce → Carbonara sauceProtein: + BaconCheese: + Parmesan
  • Tomato sauce with sauteed vegetables is basically seasoned produce - a marinara-style plate stays near 110 kcal per 100 g.
  • Carbonara swaps water-rich tomato for an egg-and-cream emulsion, then adds bacon and a generous snow of parmesan.
  • Same wheat pasta underneath - the sauce lane alone roughly doubles the plate (reference examples: Marinara 104 vs Carbonara 202).
