ℹ️ The filter coffee photo shows the traditional small steel tumbler (dabarah) — a genuinely small serving, smaller than a typical Western coffee cup. This slightly reduces the breakfast total versus the original estimate. The 80% coconut chutney remains the highest percentage logged this period for that item.

Confirmed: The Protein Shortfall Was Real, Not an Estimation Artifact
Now that every major item has a confirmed label, here's the honest picture of why protein landed below floor.
The shake delivered exactly as hoped — 43.75g confirmed protein. This wasn't an inflated estimate; the label confirms it precisely. The shortfall isn't because the shake underdelivered.
The structural issue is meal volume, not food choice. Breakfast (dosa-based) gave only 13.7g protein, and the latte+sandwich combo added just 11g more. These are inherently lower-protein meal categories by nature — a dosa breakfast and a café snack simply don't carry the same protein density as a chicken tikka dinner.
Dinner's labeled items (chicken tikka + roti) delivered reliably — 35g+ protein, fully confirmed. No uncertainty here at all.
The self-correction instinct remains the most important signal from this day. Eating lighter after two high days, while still making a genuine effort toward protein (choosing the shake, the chicken tikka dinner) — that's a mature, sustainable response. The 12g shortfall is a minor footnote next to that bigger picture.
