What changes the calories
- Because chai poh is dried, its calories are concentrated, so a small weight carries far more calories than the same weight of fresh radish.
- Soaking or rinsing adds water weight, so the same portion weighs more afterward while its calories stay roughly the same.
- Chai poh is often stir-fried in oil or cooked with sugar, and both add calories beyond the radish itself.
- Salted and sweetened versions vary by brand, so the label on your pack may differ from these values.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh chai poh dry, before soaking or cooking, and log that weight so the numbers match these dried values.
- If you fry it, log the oil you used as a separate item, since it can add more calories than the radish in a typical portion.
- In BerryFit, scan or search for the dish (such as chai poh omelette or chwee kueh) and adjust the radish and oil amounts to match what you used.
