What changes the calories
- How you fill the cup matters a lot: scooping flour straight from the bag packs it down, so a cup can weigh noticeably more than one that is spooned in and leveled.
- Sifted flour is lighter per cup, so a cup of sifted flour has fewer calories than a cup of unsifted flour even though the calories per gram stay the same.
- Flour is rarely eaten on its own, so the calories in a finished dish depend heavily on the butter, oil, sugar and eggs added to it.
- Flour used for dredging or coating food only adds the amount that actually sticks, and frying the coated food adds the calories of the oil it absorbs.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh flour in grams on a kitchen scale instead of using cups, since cup measurements vary with how the flour is packed.
- When logging a baked recipe, enter the full recipe in BerryFit with every ingredient, then log the portion you ate rather than logging flour on its own.
- For breaded or floured foods, weigh the flour before and after coating so you log only the amount that ended up on the food.
