What changes the calories
- The biggest variable is how much you actually pour: free-pouring from the bottle often adds more than the tablespoon you intended.
- When you cook with olive oil, some stays in the pan and some is absorbed by the food, so the amount you eat can differ from the amount you added.
- Foods that soak up oil, such as eggplant, bread or breaded items, tend to absorb more of it than lean proteins or steamed vegetables.
- Extra virgin, light and regular olive oils are all pure fat, so the type you choose makes little difference to calories.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Measure oil with a spoon or weigh the bottle before and after pouring rather than estimating by eye.
- Log the oil as a separate entry from the food you cooked, especially in salads and stir-fries where it is easy to forget.
- When you snap a photo of your meal in BerryFit, add any dressing or cooking oil you used, since oil is hard to see in a picture.
