What changes the calories
- Heaping spoonfuls can hold noticeably more than a level tablespoon, so portion size is the biggest variable in real life.
- Flavored or sweetened almond butters with added sugar, honey or chocolate will differ from plain almond butter.
- Brands with added oils may have a slightly different calorie and fat content than butters made only from almonds.
- The oil that separates and rises to the top is part of the calories, so stir it back in rather than pouring it off if you are logging a standard serving.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh almond butter on a kitchen scale instead of eyeballing a spoonful, since a small difference in grams adds up quickly with a calorie-dense food.
- Check your jar's label and choose the matching entry when logging, such as plain unsalted versus sweetened or with added oil.
- In BerryFit, log the bread, fruit or smoothie you pair it with as separate items so each part of the meal is counted.
