What changes the calories
- Size matters most: a small mandarin has 40 calories while a large one has 64, so guessing the size can shift your total noticeably.
- The serving weights refer to the edible fruit, so weighing a mandarin with its peel on will overstate how much you actually eat.
- Canned mandarin segments packed in syrup carry extra calories from the added sugar, while those packed in juice or water stay closer to fresh.
- Mandarin juice concentrates the sugar and drops most of the fiber, so a glass usually contains the calories of several whole fruits.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Peel the mandarin first and weigh the segments for the most accurate entry, or choose the small, medium or large serving that best matches the fruit.
- If you eat a bowl of segments, log by weight or use the 1 cup serving rather than counting fruits.
- Snap a photo of your snack in BerryFit to log it quickly, then adjust the portion if you ate more or fewer segments.
