What changes the calories
- The leaf itself adds very few calories, so stuffed grape leaves get most of their calories from the filling, such as rice, meat or pine nuts.
- Olive oil used when cooking or drizzling over dolmas adds the calories of the oil, which can easily outweigh the leaves.
- Canned leaves are packed in brine, and rinsing or draining them removes excess liquid but does not meaningfully change their calories.
- Leaf size varies, so the actual weight of each leaf, and the calories with it, can be a bit higher or lower than the 4 g average.
Tips for logging it accurately
- If you are logging plain leaves, count them or weigh them after draining, using about 4 g per leaf.
- For stuffed grape leaves, log the leaves, the filling and any oil as separate ingredients, or pick an entry for dolmas rather than plain grape leaves.
- In BerryFit, you can snap a photo of your plate of dolmas and then adjust the portion so the filling and oil are counted.
