What changes the calories
- Drying removes water, so dried figs pack far more calories per gram than fresh figs.
- Fig size varies a lot between varieties and brands, so the calories in one piece can be higher or lower than the typical 21.
- Sweetened, sugar-coated or syrup-soaked dried figs carry extra calories from the added sugar.
- Because they are small and sweet, it is easy to eat several at once, and a full cup adds up to 371 calories.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your dried figs on a kitchen scale rather than counting pieces, since individual figs vary in size.
- Check the package for added sugar or coatings and log a matching product if your figs are sweetened.
- In BerryFit, log dried figs by grams or by piece and add any nuts, cheese or honey you pair them with as separate items.
