How to make it lighter

The recipe we calculate from
| Ingredient | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Cornmeal (whole-grain) | 250 g | USDA |

How we calculate
- For each dish we take a typical home recipe: ingredients in grams, as they go into the pot.
- Ingredient composition comes from the official US Department of Agriculture database (USDA FoodData Central). Georgian cheese and matsoni are not in it, so for them we use the average of several published values.
- The total is divided by the weight of the finished dish (cooking, frying and baking change the weight). The finished weight is an estimate, so every number is approximate.
