What drives the calories

The minced meat gives most of the calories, and fatty pork has more than chicken.
Toasted rice powder (khao khua) adds a small amount of carbs.
A bag of sticky rice can have almost as many calories as the larb itself.

How to make it lighter

Choose chicken (larb gai) instead of pork.
Eat it with raw vegetables such as cabbage and long beans, and less sticky rice.
Ask for less sugar if the stall adds it.

How to log Larb in Nibbs

Log the sticky rice as its own item, because a bag adds about 230 kcal. Nibbs then estimates the portion and the calories for your actual plate, and you can edit any item before you save it.
