What changes the calories
- The biggest variable is how much you pour, since free-poured oil often adds up to more than a measured teaspoon or tablespoon.
- When you fry or sauté, some of the oil stays in the pan, but much of it is absorbed by the food, so the dish carries most of the calories you added.
- Deep frying usually means food soaks up more oil than a quick stir-fry, which raises the calories of the finished dish.
- Heating, tempering or reusing mustard oil does not meaningfully lower its calories, because the fat itself stays the same.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Measure oil with a teaspoon or tablespoon, or weigh the bottle before and after cooking to see exactly how much you used.
- For a shared dish, log the total oil in the recipe and divide it by the number of portions rather than guessing per plate.
- In BerryFit, add the oil as a separate item when you scan a photo of a cooked meal, since oil is hard to see in pictures.
