What changes the calories
- Boiling or steaming peas adds no calories by itself, but butter, oil or cream added afterward can raise the total noticeably.
- Canned peas may be packed with added salt or sugar, so the label of your can may differ from plain raw peas.
- Measuring by the cup is less precise than weighing, because how tightly peas are packed changes how many grams fit in a cup.
- Peas are often eaten as part of mixed dishes like fried rice or pea soup, where the other ingredients usually contribute most of the calories.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your peas on a kitchen scale and log by grams for the most accurate count.
- Log peas and any butter, oil or sauce as separate entries so the added fat is not missed.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your plate to log peas quickly, then adjust the portion size if needed.
