What changes the calories
- Coalho is often grilled or pan-fried, and any oil or butter used in the pan adds its own calories on top of the cheese.
- Skewers are commonly brushed with honey, syrup or sauces, which add sugar calories the cheese alone does not have.
- Grilling can let a little fat melt out or drip off, but the cheese stays calorie-dense, so the raw weight is still the safest number to log.
- Coalho is usually eaten as sticks or slabs, and cut sizes vary a lot, so a guessed portion can easily be off.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the cheese before grilling and log that raw weight, since a crumbled cup is hard to measure consistently.
- Log any oil, butter, honey or dipping sauce as separate items so the extra calories are not missed.
- Snap a photo of your grilled coalho plate in BerryFit to log it quickly, then adjust the portion to match your weighed amount.
