What changes the calories
- Slice thickness and how you cut it make a big difference, since eyeballed slices or cubes are often larger than 1 oz.
- Aged and smoked goudas are typically drier and denser than young gouda, so the same-size piece can weigh more.
- Reduced-fat or light versions have fewer calories than regular gouda because some of the fat is removed.
- Melting gouda onto dishes doesn't change its calories, but cooking it with butter or oil adds the calories of that fat.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your cheese on a kitchen scale, especially when snacking straight from a block, since small differences in size add up quickly.
- If you eat a whole 7 oz package across several meals, log each portion by weight rather than estimating fractions of the package.
- Snap a photo of your cheese board or sandwich in BerryFit, then adjust the gouda portion to its weighed amount for accuracy.
