Swaps and lighter backup

  • Synthetic swap · Low confidence

    Lighter portion

    Keep the same base order, then stop at a smaller portion or box the rest immediately.

    Order the same meal, eat the part that feels right, and box the rest before the plate lands in front of you.

    A practical lighter option built from the current order rather than a separate published row.

  • Synthetic swap · Medium confidence

    Protein-first simplification

    Keep the main protein, drop one carb-heavy or creamy extra, and make the protein portion do more of the work.

    Ask to keep the core protein, skip one heavy extra, and start with the protein portion before deciding whether you still want the rest.

    A protein-forward simplification anchored to the current official order data.

    Stomach-off fallback

    Use the plainest version that still fits the goal when tolerance is shaky or appetite is off.

    Ask for the gentlest version available, keep sauces simple, and stop early if the meal starts feeling like too much.

    A gentler fallback derived from the current menu graph and topic fit, not a separate official row.
