What changes the calories
- Cookie size varies a lot between brands and bakeries, so a large homemade gingersnap can have several times the calories of a small packaged one.
- Thin, crisp gingersnaps weigh less per cookie than soft, thick ones, which changes the calories per cookie even if the recipe is similar.
- Coatings like a sugar crust or icing add extra sugar calories on top of the cookie itself.
- Small cookies are easy to eat by the handful, so the number eaten often matters more than the calories in a single one.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your portion or count cookies and check the weight on the package, since a 7 g cookie and a 32 g large cookie are very different entries.
- Choose the serving that matches your cookie size, such as the large cookie entry for bakery-style gingersnaps.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your cookies and adjust the count or weight so the log matches what you actually ate.
