What changes the calories
- Stir-frying or sautéing snap peas adds the calories of whatever oil or butter goes into the pan.
- Steaming or blanching without added fat changes the calories very little, though the pods may lose a bit of water and weight.
- A cup of chopped snap peas packs in more pods than a cup of whole ones, so it holds more calories (41 vs 26).
- Dips, dressings and sauces served with raw snap peas often add more calories than the peas themselves.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh snap peas on a kitchen scale for the most accurate entry, since cup measures vary with how the pods are cut and packed.
- Log any cooking oil, butter or dip as a separate item so those calories are not missed.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your plate and adjust the portion to match what you weighed or counted.
