Calorie-dense for something you eat by the handful, on a day your body has little immediate use for the fat.
Name a dish. Forkright breaks it into the parts you actually decide about and tells you what each one is doing for your goal — with the reasoning, every time.
No calorie counting. No scores. No logging. Just the verdict — and why.
It remembers nothing about you — unless one day you ask it to.
As you scroll, the plate comes apart
STILL ON THE PLATE
Cheese — limit
Nearly half fat by weight. Half as much would still taste like cheese.
Béchamel — limit
38% of the energy here, and the first thing worth shrinking.
Pasta sheets — neutral
Fuel for this morning's run. Not the problem here, and not the point.
Ragù — good
Protein doing useful work on a day you ran this morning.
The same handful of nuts

Dense calories and useful fats are the entire point when you are eating in a surplus and struggling to hit intake.
Same food. Different person. Opposite answer — which is why it asks who you are before it tells you anything.
Plain words. “lasagna”, “whatever the canteen is calling curry”. Add context if it matters — post‑run, restaurant portion.
Not raw chemistry — the four to eight parts you could actually keep, shrink, swap or skip. The béchamel is one decision. So is the ragù.
Good, neutral or limit — for you, on this day, with the reasoning shown. A verdict without its why would be worth nothing.
The top thing to shrink here.
Ask for a thinner top layer, or eat around the corner pieces where it pools.
This is where most of the fat in lasagna hides: butter is close to pure saturated fat, and it arrives with very little protein or fibre to slow you down. On a desk-based day your body has little immediate use for it, so more of it gets stored than burned.
