What changes the calories
- Honey mustard and other sweetened varieties contain added sugar, which raises the calories compared with plain yellow mustard.
- Creamy mustard sauces and dressings made with mayonnaise, oil or cream are much higher in calories than mustard on its own.
- Portion size matters more than you might expect, because a generous squeeze from a bottle can be several teaspoons rather than one.
- Dijon, whole-grain and spicy brown mustards are made with different ingredients and proportions, so their calories can differ from yellow mustard.
Tips for logging it accurately
- If you use more than a teaspoon, weigh the mustard or measure it with a spoon instead of guessing from a squeeze bottle.
- Log the specific type you used, such as yellow, Dijon or honey mustard, since sweetened or creamy versions differ from plain yellow mustard.
- In BerryFit, add mustard as its own item alongside your sandwich or hot dog so a calorie-light condiment isn't lost or confused with higher-calorie sauces.
