What changes the calories
- Baking drives off water, so a baked sweet potato has more calories per gram than the same potato weighed raw.
- Butter, oil, brown sugar or marshmallow toppings can add more calories than the potato itself.
- Frying sweet potato into fries or chips adds the calories of the oil it absorbs.
- Sweet potatoes vary a lot in size, so a large one has roughly three times the calories of a small one.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the baked sweet potato after cooking and log it as baked, not raw, so the weight matches the entry.
- Log butter, oil, sugar or other toppings as separate items, since they are easy to forget and change the total quickly.
- Snap a photo of your plate in BerryFit to log the sweet potato and its toppings together, then adjust the portion if needed.
