A clear answer. Here’s how.

For each dish, divides whole portion count by positive whole portions per container. Reports full containers, remainder portions and total containers, with an extra container only when remainder is non-zero. Supports 1,000 dishes. Does not determine nutritional portions, suitable storage conditions, expiry dates or container volume.
