What changes the calories
- These numbers are for drained solids, so weighing the shoots after draining off the canning liquid gives the most accurate count.
- Stir-frying or sautéing adds the calories of any oil the shoots absorb, which can easily outweigh the shoots themselves.
- Sauces common in dishes with bamboo shoots, such as oyster, hoisin or sweet chili sauce, add calories and sugar on top of the vegetable.
- Bamboo shoots packed in seasoned or flavored liquid may differ from plain canned shoots, so check the label if yours are not plain.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Drain the can well, then weigh the shoots on a kitchen scale rather than estimating by cup.
- Choose a canned, drained entry when logging, and log cooking oil and sauces as separate items.
- In BerryFit, you can snap a photo of your stir-fry and then adjust the bamboo shoot portion and the oil to match what you actually used.
