What changes the calories
- The figures here are for raw, dry flour, so the calories in a finished dish depend on how much flour goes into it, not on the weight of the cooked food.
- Water added to make batter or dough adds weight but no calories, so a cooked pancake or cheela weighs more per calorie than the dry flour.
- Oil or ghee used to pan-fry or deep-fry mung bean flour batters adds the calories of the fat absorbed, which can be a large part of the total.
- Spooned tablespoons vary a lot depending on whether the flour is packed or heaped, which changes the calories per spoonful.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the dry flour on a kitchen scale before mixing, as this is more accurate than measuring by spoon or cup.
- Log the flour, oil and any other ingredients separately rather than guessing the weight of the cooked dish.
- In BerryFit, save your usual mung bean batter as a recipe so you can log a portion quickly next time.
