Sauteed/Pan Seared Foods
Do the entries in the database include the oil used to cook the food? For example, I just entered Fish - Cod, Pacific cooked dry heat. Do I need to include an entry for oil if it was pan seared? Edit: The question goes for sauteed entries as well. Do entries for sauteed vegetables include oil?

Omelets
