What changes the calories
- Nuts roasted in oil absorb some of that oil, so oil-roasted macadamias carry a little more fat and calories than raw ones.
- Coatings such as chocolate, honey glaze or candy shells add sugar and calories on top of the nut itself.
- Because the nuts are small and rich, portions add up quickly, and a casual handful can easily be more than the 1 oz serving.
- Salted or dry-roasted macadamias stay close to raw in calories, since dry roasting mainly removes a little moisture rather than adding fat.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your nuts on a kitchen scale rather than counting or estimating handfuls, since a few extra nuts noticeably change the total.
- Log the form you actually ate: raw, dry-roasted, oil-roasted or coated, and add any chocolate or glaze separately if there is no matching entry.
- Snap a photo of your snack or dish in BerryFit to log it quickly, then adjust the grams to match what you weighed.
