On the right side of the meal you can find the table with nutritional and calorie values of the meal, a chart showing the ratio between macronutrients (protein, fats and carbohydrates) and the food pyramid, which provides coverage of the main food groups with the ingredients of a meal. The colourless parts of the table show the absence of recommended foods, the naturally coloured parts indicate the recommended amount, and the red colored parts indicate the excess quantity foods.
