How long to burn one serving
About 5,200 steps, or 41 minutes of brisk walking for an average adult.
How we count: an adult of 75 kg and 175 cm walking at 5.6 km/h burns (4.3 − 1) × 75 = 247.5 kcal an hour above resting. Steps are distance divided by a stride of 0.415 × height. That's about 31 steps per kcal. The Kalorea app uses your own height and weight.
Size is what changes the number here. Put something for scale next to it, like a fork or your hand, or type the weight if you know it.

Where the numbers come from
This is a home-style dish, so there's no single lab value. We built it from USDA ingredients using this recipe, then divided by its total weight:
| Ingredient (USDA entry) | Grams |
|---|---|
| Alcoholic beverage, distilled, all (gin, rum, vodka, whiskey) 80 proof | 62 |
| Sugars, granulated | 5 |
| Lime juice, raw | 23 |
| Beverages, water, tap, drinking | 30 |
The ±11% range reflects how much real recipes and portions differ: more oil, fattier meat or a bigger scoop all move it.
