What changes the calories
- Cooking peppers in oil, such as sautéing or frying, adds the calories of the oil they absorb.
- Pickled banana peppers can differ from raw ones, especially if the brine contains sugar.
- Removing the stem and seeds lowers the edible weight, so weigh what you actually eat.
- Stuffed or cheese-filled peppers get most of their calories from the filling, not the pepper itself.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh peppers on a kitchen scale after trimming, or use the size closest to yours: small (33 g, 9 calories), medium (46 g, 12 calories) or large (75 g, 20 calories).
- Log cooking oil, cheese, dressings or stuffing as separate entries, since they usually outweigh the pepper in calories.
- Snap a photo of your dish in BerryFit to log the peppers and toppings together, then adjust the portions if needed.
