Schnitzel

Schnitzel is a thin, breaded and pan-fried meat cutlet—originally Viennese (Wiener Schnitzel) and often made with veal, pork, chicken, or turkey—served as a hearty main course in Central European cuisine. It’s commonly eaten with lemon and sides like potatoes, salad, or spaetzle, and people track it to capture portion size and preparation differences (breading, frying, sauces) that affect protein, fat, carbohydrate and sodium content.
