What changes the calories
- The weights here are for shelled kernels, so weighing pistachios in the shell overstates how much you actually ate because the shells add weight but no calories you eat.
- Pistachios roasted in oil can carry slightly more calories than dry-roasted ones because of the oil that clings to them.
- Flavored or coated pistachios, such as honey-roasted or chocolate-covered, add the calories of the sugar and coatings.
- Portions creep easily because pistachios are small and often eaten by the handful straight from the bag.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh shelled kernels, or weigh the shells you discard and subtract them from the in-shell weight, to get the edible amount.
- Choose the dry-roasted or oil-roasted entry that matches your bag, and pick a flavored option if yours are seasoned or coated.
- In BerryFit, you can log by kernel count for small snacks, since 1 kernel is about 4 calories.
