What changes the calories
- How you fill the cup matters a lot: scooping straight from the bag packs in more flour than spooning it in and leveling, so a 'cup' can weigh noticeably more or less than 120 g.
- The flour itself is only part of the story, because pancakes, crepes and baked goods add the calories of the eggs, milk, butter, oil and sugar in the recipe.
- Cooking fat used in the pan, such as butter or oil for buckwheat pancakes or blini, adds its own calories on top of the batter.
- Buckwheat flour blends sold for baking may be mixed with wheat or other flours, which can shift the calories and macros slightly from pure whole-groat flour.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the flour in grams on a kitchen scale instead of relying on cups, since volume measurements vary widely with flour.
- Log the dry flour by weight when you make a recipe, then log each other ingredient separately, including any oil or butter in the pan.
- In BerryFit, save your buckwheat pancake or bread as a recipe so you can log a single portion quickly and accurately each time.
