FAQ
How accurate are the Mercadona prices in Spain?
Prices are 2026-Q2 quarterly averages (chain weekly flyers + government food price index + manual spot-checks). Real prices vary by week, region, and promotion. Verify with your receipt before betting on these numbers. If a price looks wildly off, ping us via Contact — we refresh quarterly.
What's the cost per 1 gram of protein for Spaghetti Carbonara?
The result card auto-shows "Cost / 1 g protein". When it's under the fitness threshold in EUR, a violet "MACRO HERO" badge appears. Same Spaghetti Carbonara can swing dramatically in protein efficiency when you switch supermarkets or countries (e.g., imported vs domestic protein).
Why does Spaghetti Carbonara cost so differently across countries?
Supply distance, local labor cost, VAT, food subsidies, exchange rates, minimum wage, and supermarket margins all stack up. The 'Compare' tab puts two countries side-by-side so you can spot which ingredient drives the gap.
Is cooking actually cheaper than delivery in Spain?
Average Spaghetti Carbonara delivery in Spain runs around EUR 14. Cooking typically saves 50-70%, but that excludes your time and dish-washing. If the verdict shouts "financial disaster," ordering may genuinely be the rational choice.
How do I share my recipe with a friend?
Hit the 'Share' button (top-right of the result card). The entire recipe gets lz-string compressed and encoded into the URL. Send that link anywhere — your friend opens it and sees the same calculation instantly. Nothing uploaded to a server.

No, never. Static site with zero database. Your inputs and results live only in your browser session and vanish when the tab closes. Shared links carry the recipe in the URL itself (no backend). See Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.
