What changes the calories
- Sprouts are light and airy, so a loosely packed cup weighs less than a tightly packed one and has fewer calories.
- Rinsing leaves water clinging to the sprouts, which can make them weigh more than they really are unless you shake or spin them dry first.
- Dressings, oils and sauces tossed with sprouts usually add far more calories than the sprouts themselves.
- Cooking sprouts in oil, as in a stir-fry, adds the calories of the oil they absorb.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh sprouts on a kitchen scale instead of guessing by the cup, since how tightly they are packed changes the amount a lot.
- Log the dressing, mayo or spread on your salad, sandwich or wrap as a separate item so those calories are not missed.
- When you add a handful of sprouts to a meal, snapping a photo with BerryFit's meal scanner can help you log the whole plate, including the sprouts.
