What changes the calories
- How you fill a measuring cup matters a lot: scooped flour packs down and weighs more than spooned and leveled flour, so a 'cup' can vary noticeably in calories.
- Baking or cooking doesn't change the calories in the flour itself, but fats, sugars, eggs and other ingredients added to a recipe raise the total of the finished dish.
- Cooked foods made with sorghum flour, like porridge or flatbread, absorb water, so their calories per 100 g are lower than dry flour even though the flour's total calories stay the same.
- Blends labeled as sorghum or gluten-free flour may mix in starches or other flours, which shifts the calories and macros compared with plain whole-grain sorghum flour.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the dry flour in grams on a kitchen scale rather than relying on cup measures for the most accurate entry.
- For baked goods, log each recipe ingredient separately (flour, oil, sugar, eggs) and divide by the number of portions you actually eat.
- In BerryFit, save your sorghum flour recipe once so you can log a slice or serving quickly the next time you make it.
