What changes the calories
- Quince is usually cooked rather than eaten raw, and sugar or honey added during poaching, baking or jam-making can raise the calories considerably.
- Cooking with butter or other fats adds the calories of the fat used.
- Quince paste and jams are cooked down with sugar, so they are far more calorie-dense than the fresh fruit.
- Peeling and coring removes some weight, so the edible portion of a whole quince is smaller than its full weight.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the quince after peeling and coring for the most accurate log, since the core and seeds are not eaten.
- If you poach or bake quince with sugar, honey or butter, log those additions separately alongside the raw quince.
- Snap a photo of your quince dish in BerryFit to log it quickly, then adjust the portion and any added sweeteners.
