What changes the calories
- Butter, oil or dressing used when roasting, sautéing or serving radishes adds far more calories than the radishes themselves.
- Pickled radishes can carry extra calories if the brine contains sugar.
- Radish size varies a lot, so counting radishes gives a rougher estimate than weighing them.
- Eating the leaves and stems changes the nutrition slightly, since greens differ from the root.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh radishes on a kitchen scale, or use the sliced cup measures when adding them to salads.
- Log added fats, dips and dressings as separate entries, since they usually make up most of the calories in a radish dish.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your salad or snack plate and then check that the radish portion matches what you ate.
