What changes the calories
- Dry navy beans absorb a lot of water as they cook, so a gram of dry beans has far more calories than a gram of cooked beans, and you should log whichever form you actually weighed.
- Canned navy beans are usually close to home-cooked beans, but some are packed in sauce or with added sugar or pork, which raises the calories.
- Adding oil, butter, bacon or other fats while cooking or serving adds those ingredients' calories on top of the beans themselves.
- Cooking time and how much liquid is drained off can slightly change how dense and calorie-rich a cup of beans is.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your beans after cooking and draining, then log them as cooked navy beans so the entry matches what is on your plate.
- If you cook a big batch from dry beans, weigh the dry amount, log it as dry, and divide by the number of portions you serve, or weigh each cooked portion instead.
- In BerryFit, log any oil, sauce or meat in your bean dish as separate items so the extra calories are not missed.
