What changes the calories
- Berry size varies a lot, so counting berries is less accurate than weighing them: a medium strawberry is about 12 g and a large one about 18 g.
- Slicing packs strawberries more tightly into a cup, so 1 cup sliced (166 g, 53 calories) weighs and contains more than 1 cup whole (144 g, 46 calories).
- Added sugar, syrup, whipped cream or chocolate dipping can add far more calories than the berries themselves.
- Dried, frozen-sweetened or jam versions are different foods; drying concentrates the calories into less weight and sweetened products add the calories of the sugar.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your strawberries after removing the green tops, since that is the part you actually eat.
- Log raw strawberries for fresh or unsweetened frozen berries, and log toppings like cream, sugar or yogurt as separate items.
- Snap a photo of your bowl in BerryFit to log it quickly, then adjust the portion if you weighed it.
