Calories in a Strawberry
Replies

Strawberries come in a wide range of sizes, so it's impossible to give you a precise answer. You probably shouldn't worry unless you are eating just an insane amount of strawberries. I always double check things in the MFP database. Some people's entries are foolish and not remotely accurate.0

Fixed it in my diary....I'm now negative net calories after I get done eating all the food I've logged for my work shift!
Ummm - you're doing it wrong. Negative net calories isn't a good thing.
NO way....really??? Negative calories is bad??? OMG IM GOING TO DIEEEEE!!!! This was food for my WORK shift....no the entire damn day.
So no....Im NOT doing it wrong...or maybe I need to stand on a food scale and log my food....will that help?
Oh dear - someone is cranky. Or seriously hangry. Poor thing.0 -

Nope. I got my answer a long time ago at this point I'm just trolling my own thread0 -

pst.somebody didn't actually read the thread and is jumping to conclusions. I asked about the calories in one strawberry not to use or the need or want of a food scale. it's amazing how you just pick and choose what you want to read and then based your assumptions of of that to me that's a pretty poor taste. how about reading first
you cannot tell how many calories are in a strawberry unless you weigh it.

Wtf did I miss up here? I like strawberries. ..0

Actually, I did read it. But you still asked for advice in some form. Even if that was just the calories in a strawberry. People have provided that, and based on how far off you were made further suggestions, entirely sensible ones at that, and you've just come back and told them that you know better than them.
and again I had already said no to the food scale yet people still insist. do I know better than them what works for me of course I do I have had success with what works for me I was looking for general information on approximations for one strawberry. next thing you know I'm getting relationship advice in this thread
No need....if you won't use a food scale he will eventually get sick of you and just break up.0 -

Depends on if yoy weigh the cream too.0 -
I'm beginning to suspect that OP had a very bad experience with a food scale earlier in his life.
That's my best theory on his strong emotional reaction to the recommendations to use one.
OP, please show me on this doll where the food scale touched you.

For whatever reason I'm having hard time finding the answer....the stuff in the database is just odd.
The best I can find is that for 4 strawberries (whole), it's about 150 calories....that sound about right? I blend 4 strawberries, 1/2 banana and 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein for one hell of a delicious shake.
I'm just wondering about the calories, I'm seeing anywhere between like 60 and 150.
They seem to be just regular size strawberries.
No that is too much, unless they are strawberries the size of a medium apple. I did quite some research earlier today ( because it's strawberry season where I live !) and 100grs of strawberries are 32 calories ( Backed up by USDA and WHO). I can't imagine that 4 strawberries weigh a pound......
If you are the person who told me in another thread she did not have a scale and was not going to buy one....well, I will not suggest that you weigh those berries. It would mean that in the absense of a scale, you always will have to guess....0 -
How do you know when an entry in the database is the "official" entry?
I check usually "USDA" like " fresh strawberries - USDA " or I check if there are confirmations. If there are a decent number, I assume that the number is at least close to being correct, because I know that nothing in the field of nutrition is 100%.0 -

I'm wondering how you're logging accurately at all if you thought 4 strawberries weighed 100 grams.
For me at least, the whole point in counting calories is to learn how to accurately estimate proper portion sizes. How do you do that if you don't know what those portion sizes look like?0 -
I don't know weights LOL, I just figured 1 large strawberry was 100g LOL
A digital food scale would be a good thing to get.0 -
Thank you all for making me laugh. This was hysterical!!0

Now I am craving strawberries!0

I have a food scale and I'm pretty good about weighing things, but I still have no concept of how much 100 grams is. I can eyeball ounces, or cups, or tablespoons, but no matter how many times I look up the conversion or switch the units on my scale, I'm always surprised at how much (how little?) I get for 100g.
It's a total mental block - lol.0 -
