What changes the calories
- Searing or pan-frying scallops in butter or oil adds the calories of whatever fat clings to them, which can be a noticeable share for such a lean food.
- Scallops lose water as they cook, so a raw weight and a cooked weight of the same scallops will not match, and calories per gram shift accordingly.
- Breading, bacon wraps and cream or butter sauces add their own calories on top of the scallops themselves.
- Scallop size varies widely between small bay scallops and large sea scallops, so counting pieces gives a much rougher estimate than weighing.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh scallops after cooking and log them as cooked, or weigh them raw and log a raw entry, but don't mix the two.
- Log any butter, oil, sauce or bacon used in cooking as separate entries so the lean base stays accurate.
- Snap a photo of your plate in BerryFit to log scallops and their sides quickly, then adjust the portion weight if needed.
