What changes the calories
- Dips and spreads such as peanut butter, cream cheese or ranch usually add far more calories than the celery itself.
- Cooking celery in butter or oil adds the calories of the fat used, even though the celery's own calories barely change.
- Stalk size varies a lot, from a small stalk of 17 g to a large stalk of 64 g, so counting stalks can be imprecise.
- Trimming leaves and the tough base changes the edible weight, so weigh the part you actually eat.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your celery after trimming for the most accurate entry, since stalk sizes differ widely.
- Log any dip, nut butter or dressing as a separate item, because it will usually make up most of the snack's calories.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your celery snack or meal and adjust the portion and toppings so the totals match what you ate.
