where the numbers come from

every number here comes from the kilo app's food database, mostly the calories cafes publish themselves. when a cafe doesn't share protein, carbs and fat, kilo estimates them, and if there's nothing solid you just see calories.

portions and recipes change, so treat these as a good guide, not a lab report.
