What changes the calories
- Brands vary in recipe, so thicker or sweeter oyster sauces can contain more calories than thinner ones.
- Oyster sauce is usually cooked with oil in stir-fries, and that oil often adds far more calories to the dish than the sauce itself.
- Portions are easy to underestimate when pouring straight from the bottle, since a generous drizzle can be several tablespoons.
- Sauces that blend oyster sauce with other ingredients, such as sugar or extra oil, will differ from plain oyster sauce.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Measure oyster sauce with a tablespoon or weigh it rather than pouring by eye, so your serving size matches what you log.
- Log the cooking oil and other sauces in your stir-fry separately, because they often contribute more calories than the oyster sauce.
- In BerryFit, log oyster sauce as its own item when you make a recipe, or adjust the portion after a photo scan if the sauce isn't visible.
