What changes the calories
- Dipping the leaves in melted butter, mayonnaise or aioli can add far more calories than the artichoke itself.
- Marinated artichoke hearts from a jar are usually packed in oil, which adds calories compared with plain boiled hearts; draining them helps but does not remove all the oil.
- A whole artichoke includes inedible leaf tips and choke, so the weight you actually eat is less than the weight of the whole cooked artichoke.
- Roasting or grilling with oil adds the calories of the oil used, while plain boiling or steaming adds none.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Log whole artichokes by count (1 medium) and hearts by weight or the 1/2 cup serving, since hearts are the denser, fully edible part.
- Log dips, butter and oil as separate entries so they are not hidden in the artichoke total.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your plate and then check that the artichoke form (whole, hearts, or marinated) matches what you are eating.
