What changes the calories
- The numbers here are for raw pancetta, so weighing it before cooking gives the most accurate match.
- When pancetta is crisped in a pan, much of its fat melts out, so the cooked pieces you eat can have fewer calories than the raw weight suggests if you leave the rendered fat behind.
- If you cook other ingredients in the rendered pancetta fat, those calories end up in the dish, so count the fat as part of the recipe.
- Cut thickness and the ratio of fat to lean vary between brands and slices, which shifts the calories per slice.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh pancetta raw before cooking and log it as raw pancetta, since cooked weight drops as fat and water cook off.
- If you pour off the rendered fat, note that your actual intake may be somewhat lower than the raw entry, but keep the raw entry if the fat stays in the dish.
- In BerryFit, log pancetta as its own ingredient in pasta or salads so a small amount of diced pancetta doesn't get missed in a photo scan.
