Standard single-serving portion of pasta (~85–100 g dry weight)
Meat sauce made with regular ground beef, tomato base, and a small amount of cooking oil
No added cheese, bread, or side items
Home-prepared with no heavy cream or butter in the sauce
Portion was a typical lunch serving
Pasta was plain cooked wheat pasta

Uncertainty notes The main uncertainty is portion size and how rich the meat sauce was, especially the amount of meat, oil, and any added cheese. Portion size is the largest source of uncertainty; servings can range from 60 g to 150 g dry pasta, which would shift calories from ~400 to ~800+ kcal
Meat sauce fat content varies significantly depending on beef fat percentage, amount of oil, and whether cheese was added
If a restaurant portion, calories could be 30–50% higher due to larger serving and added fat
Estimate could change materially with a larger pasta portion, richer sauce, cheese, or oil added.
