What changes the calories
- Sugar, honey or syrup stirred into the tea adds calories quickly, since plain brewed tea has almost none of its own.
- Milk, cream or plant milk raises the calories depending on how much you pour and which kind you use.
- Bottled and ready-to-drink green teas are often sweetened, so they can contain far more calories than tea brewed at home.
- Green tea lattes and matcha drinks made with milk and sweetener are much higher in calories than plain brewed tea.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Log plain brewed green tea as is, and add any sugar, honey or milk as separate entries so their calories are counted.
- For bottled green tea, check the label and log the specific product rather than plain brewed tea.
- In BerryFit, save your usual cup with its add-ins as a favorite so you can log it in one tap.
