What changes the calories
- These numbers are for dry flakes, so a steamed cuscuz weighs more per portion because it absorbs water, while the calories stay the same as the dry flakes you used.
- Butter, margarine or oil stirred into or spread on cuscuz adds the calories of that fat on top of the cornmeal itself.
- Toppings and fillings such as cheese, eggs, sausage or coconut milk can add substantially to the total calories of the dish.
- Measuring by the cup varies a lot depending on how loosely or tightly the flakes are packed, which changes how much you actually eat.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the dry flakes before soaking and steaming, and log that dry weight for the most accurate count.
- If you can only weigh the cooked cuscuz, log it as a cooked dish or recipe rather than as dry cornmeal, since dry values will overstate the calories for the same weight.
- Log butter, cheese, eggs and other toppings as separate entries, or save your usual cuscuz as a recipe in BerryFit so it is quick to log next time.
