What changes the calories
- Because the berries are dried, their water is removed and the calories are concentrated, so a small handful adds up quickly.
- Some packaged goji berries are sweetened or coated with oil, which raises the calories compared with plain dried berries.
- Soaking or rehydrating goji berries adds water weight but no calories, so a soaked portion weighs more for the same calories.
- Spoon measurements vary with how tightly the berries are packed, so the same number of tablespoons can hold different amounts.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your portion on a kitchen scale, since dried berries are calorie-dense and eyeballing can be off.
- If you soak them, weigh the berries dry before soaking and log that dry weight as dried goji berries.
- Log goji berries separately from the yogurt, oatmeal or trail mix you add them to, or scan the whole bowl in BerryFit and adjust the portions.
