What changes the calories
- Mackerel is an oily fish, and fat content varies naturally by season and catch, so the calories in one fillet can differ from another.
- Peppered or glazed smoked mackerel may carry a few extra calories from coatings, so check the pack label for flavored versions.
- Eating the skin keeps more of the fat that sits just beneath it, while peeling it off removes a little of that fat.
- Packaged fillets vary in size, so a single fillet can be noticeably lighter or heavier than the 88 g reference.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the fillet after removing any skin or bones you won't eat, since pack weights often include them.
- Log butter, mayonnaise, cream cheese or crackers separately when you serve smoked mackerel as a pâté or on toast, as these add calories quickly.
- Snap a photo of your plate in BerryFit to log the mackerel and its accompaniments together, then adjust the portion weight if needed.
