What changes the calories
- These figures are for lean meat only, so eating the fat cap or marbled edges adds noticeably more calories.
- Pork loses water as it cooks, so 100 g of cooked pork has more calories than 100 g of the same pork weighed raw.
- Cooking in oil or butter, or adding glazes and sauces, adds calories on top of the meat itself.
- The cut matters: fattier cuts like belly or ribs are higher in calories than lean loin or leg.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh pork after cooking and log it as cooked, or weigh it raw and choose a raw pork entry, but don't mix the two.
- Log cooking oil, marinades, and sauces as separate items so their calories aren't missed.
- Snap a photo of your plate in BerryFit to log the pork and sides quickly, then adjust the portion weight if needed.
