What changes the calories
- Dry borlotti beans absorb water as they cook, so a given weight of dry beans is much more calorie-dense than the same weight cooked.
- Cooking them with olive oil, pancetta or butter, as many Italian recipes do, adds the calories of those ingredients on top of the beans themselves.
- Canned borlotti beans are usually similar to home-cooked ones once drained, but the liquid and any added sauce can change the numbers.
- Portions served in stews, soups and pasta e fagioli are often bigger than a single cup, so it is easy to underestimate how much you ate.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your beans after cooking and draining, and log them as cooked rather than dry so the numbers match.
- If you start from dry beans, weigh them dry and log them as a dry entry, or weigh the full cooked batch and split it by portion.
- Log any oil, cheese or meat cooked with the beans as separate items, or snap a photo of the dish in BerryFit to capture the whole meal.
