What changes the calories
- Frying or sautéing shrimp in oil or butter adds the calories of the fat used, and breaded or battered shrimp also picks up calories from the coating.
- Raw shrimp loses water as it cooks, so a given weight of cooked shrimp has more calories than the same weight of raw shrimp.
- Weighing shrimp with the shells or tails on counts parts you don't eat, so the edible portion is smaller than the scale shows.
- Sauces like cocktail sauce, garlic butter or creamy dressings can add more calories than the shrimp itself.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh shrimp after cooking and peeling, and log it as cooked shrimp so the weight matches the entry.
- Log cooking fat, breading and sauces as separate items so they aren't missed.
- Snap a photo of your shrimp dish in BerryFit to log it quickly, then adjust the portion if needed.
