1. Dishes with the same name are conflated despite being completely different.
2. Many dishes don't have a serving size they simply yield things like "1 cake".
3. The researcher choose a particularly small sample size (18 out of ~4500)
As a cooking enthusiast I find it frustrating that a researcher forces a narrative that home cooked meals are the problem when the reality is that all the fast an processed foods we have today are much more likely the culprit of obesity. We need to be encouraging people to cook for themselves with fresh ingredients and not publishing dubious studies that suggest to do the opposite.
