Additions: Lemon → ButterPrepared vegetables: grilled → deep-fried
  • Same three vegetables, same plate — but eggplant and zucchini are sponges: on the grill they stay near 65-80 kcal per 100 g, in the frying pan they soak oil up to roughly double that.
  • The finish compounds it: a squeeze of lemon and parsley add nothing, while a tablespoon of butter and a snow of parmesan add more calories than the grilled vegetables themselves.
  • Fried vegetables photograph glossier for a reason — that shine is the oil you're eating.
