What changes the calories
- Butter, oil or cheese added during or after roasting can add far more calories than the squash itself.
- Raw and cooked squash weigh differently because cooking changes the water content, so weigh it in the same form you log.
- Sauces such as marinara, pesto or cream sauce often make up most of the calories in a spaghetti squash dish.
- The rind and seeds aren't usually eaten, so weighing the whole squash overstates how much you actually ate.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the cooked strands after scraping them from the rind, and log that weight as cooked spaghetti squash.
- Log any oil, butter, sauce or cheese as separate entries so they aren't missed.
- Snap a photo of your plate in BerryFit to log the squash and its toppings together, then adjust the portion if needed.
