Formula back-check: C = [2,472 − 152×4 − 101×9] ÷ 4 = [2,472 − 608 − 909] ÷ 4 = 955 ÷ 4 = 239g vs logged 237g → Δ2g, an excellent match across 9 logged items.
Why carbs are low while calories are normal: A high-protein, high-fat dinner (pizza + shawarma, both protein/fat-dense and relatively bread-light once the crust was skipped) left little room for carbs in the day's calorie budget, even though the day overall landed close to target.

📝 Dropping the corn salsa and only eating half the brownie both shave a small amount off — neither is significant alone, but they're the right direction on a day that ends up needing fat headroom at dinner.

Crispy fried tofu bites — ~40% of a shareable basket, <5% of the dip sauce
Photo shows a generous sharing basket of breaded, fried tofu pieces (full basket estimated ~550 kcal). At ~40% eaten and only a token amount of dip, this comes out modest despite being a fried item.

Cheesecake Factory Cheese Flatbread Pizza — half the order (4 of 8 slices), crusts left (photo confirmed)
The Cheesecake Factory's full Cheese Flatbread Pizza is an official, published item: 1,000 kcal, 49g protein, 86g carbs, 50g fat for the whole order. Half of that is 500/24.5/43/25 — minus the crust strips visibly left on the plate in the second photo (~25% of that half), the eaten portion comes out lower.

Chicken shawarma — 1 piece (pita, grilled chicken, tomato, house pickles, onion, garlic, cilantro), no fries, no sauce
Photo shows an open-faced flatbread-style piece with visible chicken, herb/tomato relish, and a light cream drizzle — built up from a smaller flatbread base rather than a full pita, since the dish is served as multiple open pieces rather than a rolled wrap.

⚠️ This is the entire reason fat crossed the ceiling today. Two genuinely good individual choices — only half the flatbread, crusts left, no fries, no extra sauce — still add up to 25g fat together, because cheese-topped flatbread is dense in fat per bite. Declining the fries and sauce on the shawarma was the right call and kept this from being meaningfully worse.

Day 17 · 9–25 June 2026
17 Days In: Still Tracking Well, Fat Still the Open Question
Today doesn't change the overall picture much — it's another data point confirming that fat compliance moves with how many rich items land on one day, not with any single food being "bad." Protein remains a non-issue. Water continues to trend in the right direction even with today's small dip.

Standing After Day 17
✅
On TrackProtein and carbs are both functioning as intended — protein consistently in or above range, carbs averaging dead-center of 270–345g despite real day-to-day swings.
🥑
Still OpenFat remains in range on only 4 of 13 logged days. The mechanism is well understood now (multiple rich items stacking) — the next test is whether that understanding starts changing choices on social days, not just solo ones.
💧
ImprovingWater's 3-day high of 2.9L (Jun 24) shows the target is reachable; today's 2.7L is a small step back but still well above the Jun 9–13 average of ~1.8L.
Going Into Day 18
📝
Carry Forward"One rich item per dinner, not two" is the most concrete, testable rule to come out of this stretch — today is the clearest single piece of evidence for it yet.

Carry ForwardDay 28 (Phase 1 halfway point) is now 3 days away. Worth scheduling the body-weight/photo check-in now so it happens on time.
