What changes the calories
- These numbers are for carp cooked with dry heat and no added fat, so weighing it raw will give a different figure because fish loses water as it cooks.
- Frying, butter or oil in the pan add the calories of whatever fat the fish absorbs or is served with.
- Breading or batter adds carbs and extra calories, especially when the fish is fried.
- Carp fillets vary a lot in size, so a single fillet can be well above or below the 170 g reference portion.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the carp after cooking and log it as cooked carp, or weigh it raw and log a raw carp entry, but don't mix the two.
- Log cooking oil, butter, breading and sauces as separate items so their calories aren't missed.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your plate and then adjust the portion to the weight you measured for the most accurate entry.
