What changes the calories
- Glass noodles absorb a lot of water when soaked or boiled, so a cooked portion weighs much more than the dry noodles and has fewer calories per gram.
- Stir-frying the noodles, as in many noodle dishes, adds the calories of the oil they soak up.
- Sauces such as soy-based dressings, sesame oil or sweet chili sauce add calories on top of the noodles themselves.
- A loose bundle of dry noodles is hard to judge by eye, so portions served at home or in restaurants can vary widely.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the noodles dry before soaking or cooking, and log that dry weight using the dry entry for the most accurate count.
- If you can only weigh them after cooking, choose a cooked glass noodle entry instead of this dry one, since the numbers here apply to dry weight.
- Log cooking oil, sauces and add-ins separately, or snap a photo of the finished dish in BerryFit to capture everything on the plate.
