What changes the calories
- Sweetened applesauce has added sugar, so it has more calories than the unsweetened kind for the same weight.
- Applesauce with added ingredients like cinnamon-sugar blends, honey or other fruit purees can differ in calories, so the label matters.
- Homemade applesauce can vary depending on the apple variety, whether the skins are included and how much water is cooked off, since a thicker sauce packs more calories into each spoonful.
- Portion size is easy to misjudge with a spoon or straight from the jar, and a heaped serving can be much larger than you think.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh applesauce on a kitchen scale or use a measuring cup rather than guessing by spoonfuls.
- Check the label and log the unsweetened version only if no sugar was added; choose a sweetened entry if the jar lists sugar or syrup.
- In BerryFit, log applesauce separately from whatever you pair it with, like oatmeal, yogurt or pancakes, so each item is counted accurately.
