Copycat orders

30 takeout orders people order most, each rebuilt as a home dish. Every takeout figure is an estimate for a typical restaurant portion, with its source. Every home figure is computed from the recipe.

The home build has fewer calories on 28 of the 30 orders (median difference −260 kcal per person). 15 orders are estimated entirely from USDA FNDDS survey foods; the rest use one or more written restaurant-style reference recipes. These are generic dish names, not any restaurant's menu items.
