What changes the calories
- Tortilla size varies a lot between brands and restaurants, so a large or thick tortilla can weigh well over 24 g and carry more calories.
- Frying tortillas into taco shells, tostadas or chips adds the calories of the oil they absorb.
- Warming a tortilla on a dry pan or in the microwave adds essentially no calories, but brushing it with oil or butter does.
- Fillings, cheese, sour cream and sauces usually add far more calories to a taco than the tortilla itself.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh one tortilla from your pack, or check the label's weight per tortilla, since sizes differ from the 24 g standard.
- Log fried shells or tostadas as a fried product rather than a plain tortilla, and log any oil you cook with separately.
- Snap a photo of your tacos in BerryFit so the tortillas and fillings are logged together, then adjust the tortilla count if needed.
