What changes the calories
- Pita sizes vary a lot between brands and bakeries, so a pita that looks large may weigh noticeably more or less than 60 g.
- Brushing pita with oil or butter before toasting or grilling adds the calories of that fat on top of the bread itself.
- Fillings and dips such as hummus, falafel, cheese or sauces often add more calories than the pita, especially when the pocket is packed full.
- Whole wheat, white and specialty pitas differ slightly in recipe, so the exact numbers for your bread may not match plain white pita.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your pita once or check the package weight, since it is the most reliable way to know whether it matches the 60 g large or 28 g small serving.
- Log the pita and each filling or dip as separate items so oil, spreads and toppings are not missed.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your pita meal and then adjust the portion of each component to match what you actually ate.
