Counting Whipped/Dairy Cream Cals

DapperKay

Okay - this is really confusing.

I'm talking about the aerosol cans. In the UK they're called 'dairy cream' and they are made from cream so they are a little richer than the Reddi Whip stuff you get in the US.

Anyways - I'm finding logging this stuff quite confusing.

The can says:

55ml - X calories (don't remember I think its like 30cals)

and then

100 g - Y calories (I think around 220 calories)

So assuming 55ml is like 3 tbsp? How much is that really in grams of the actual stuff. And who uses tbsp for cream, you just spray it on your pancake (or boobs or whatever) - so how do you know how much you really ate.

The other day I used the scale, to try this, but obviously what you are getting on there is the whipped output NOT the cream itself. A little cream will generate a lot of fluff.

Another way I did was measure the can in full - then used it - the measure again, subtracted the different and used the grams to calculate. Seems to me thats the best way to do - I still have no clue if thats even remotely accurate as it came out quite high.

Any ideas?

Lmao


I put my plate or whatever on the scale and zero it out, then spray on the whipped cream and it will tell you how many grams of whipped cream you used. If it reads 25 grams then just log .25 of 100 grams.
They account for the air so weighing the can before/after is not accurate.

I do the same. Takes all of 5 seconds.

I missed the part about Boobs - that's much harder on the food scale. But presumably what you're doing after should burn off all those calories if you're doing it correctly.

The cream is what weighs so the scale should still be accurate in determining the amount of grams. How "fluffy" it is doesn't have an effect on its weight just its volume.
