What changes the calories
- Ground turkey loses water as it cooks, so the same piece weighs less cooked than raw and has more calories per gram cooked.
- The lean-to-fat ratio on the package makes a big difference, since blends that include more fat or skin are higher in calories than extra-lean ones.
- Oil or butter added to the pan adds its own calories, and some of it clings to the meat.
- Draining the rendered fat after browning removes some fat, so drained meat can come out a little lower in calories than undrained.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the turkey after cooking and log it as cooked, or weigh it raw and log a raw entry, but don't mix the two.
- If you cook a full pound, note that it yields about 330 g cooked (670 calories), then weigh your portion from the batch.
- Log cooking oil, cheese, buns and sauces separately, and use BerryFit's photo scanning to capture the whole plate quickly.
