What changes the calories
- Tomatoes canned with added oil, sugar or seasoning blends will have more calories than plain tomatoes packed in their own juice.
- Draining off the juice changes the weight you eat, so weigh the tomatoes in the form you actually use.
- Cooking canned tomatoes down into a sauce concentrates them, so the same spoonful of a thick, reduced sauce carries more calories than the unreduced tomatoes.
- Recipes often add olive oil or butter when simmering tomatoes, and that added fat can easily contribute more calories than the tomatoes themselves.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Check the can label: the 190 g can listed here has 30 calories, but cans come in different sizes, so use the weight printed on yours.
- If you use only part of a can, weigh your portion or log it by the cup or tablespoon rather than guessing.
- Log any oil, cheese or sugar added during cooking as separate items, or snap a photo of the finished dish in BerryFit to capture the whole meal.
