Calories in real plates

Nobody eats 100 grams of anything, and composition tables list ingredients rather than dinners. So every page here builds the plate from its parts, shows the arithmetic, cites the source for each component, and states the preparation it assumed, because that is usually worth more calories than the ingredient.
