What changes the calories
- Olives weighed with pits include inedible weight, so a pitted weight gives a more accurate calorie count.
- Olives packed or marinated in oil carry extra calories from the oil that clings to them.
- Stuffed olives, such as those filled with cheese, add the calories of the filling.
- Olives are easy to eat by the handful, so the number eaten matters more than the calories in any single olive.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Count your olives or weigh them without pits, then log by the olive or by grams.
- Drain olives well before eating, and log any oil or dressing they were served in separately.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your plate and adjust the olive count or grams so it matches what you actually ate.
