What changes the calories
- Matzo meal is a dry ingredient, so its calories are dense by weight, and a loosely packed spoonful can weigh quite differently from a packed one.
- Recipes like matzo balls or latkes add eggs, oil or schmaltz, which raise the calories of the finished dish well above the matzo meal alone.
- Frying foods coated in matzo meal adds the calories of the oil the coating absorbs.
- Flavored or egg matzo products can differ from plain matzo, so the calories depend on which type you use.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh matzo meal dry on a kitchen scale before mixing it into a recipe, since volume measures of dry crumbs are inconsistent.
- When logging a dish like matzo ball soup, log the matzo meal, eggs and fat separately, or log the full recipe and divide by the number of portions.
- In BerryFit, save your matzo ball or coating recipe once so you can log a portion quickly next time.
