What changes the calories
- Dry noodles absorb water as they cook, so the same noodles weigh more and have fewer calories per gram once cooked than when dry.
- Oil, butter or sesame oil tossed through the noodles adds the calories of that fat on top of the noodles themselves.
- Sauces, broths and toppings such as soy-based dressings, peanut sauce, tempura or meat can add more calories than the noodles in a typical bowl.
- Restaurant and takeaway portions are often larger than a single cup, so a full bowl can contain noticeably more than one serving.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh noodles after cooking and draining, and log them as cooked so the weight matches the calorie value.
- Log sauces, oils and toppings as separate entries rather than assuming they are included in the noodle entry.
- Snap a photo of your noodle bowl in BerryFit to get a quick estimate, then adjust the portion if you weighed it.
