I just added 15 blackberries from Trader Joes to my yogurt. I entered them (separate from my yogurt) in my food journal as a cup of fresh blackberries and it calculated like 280 calories. Does that sound right? Most of what I'm seeing online quotes much less calories for blackberries.

Any input?

    You really do need to double check a lot of those items - I think some have been entered as possibly frozen items - which usually have other items like sugar added, which could be correct - I always double check on fruits and vegetables - and usually check numerous sources before I put them down - and yes, that sounds like way to many for just blackberries.

    I agree! You always have to double check, there are a lot of food items that incorrect in the MFP database.

    I have a bag of no sugar added frozen blackberries in my freezer. I figure the calories are probably close to fresh ones. The nutrition information states there are 90 calories in 1 cup.

    That's funny that you ask this because I had blackberries yesterday and I'm going to have them again today and it said i had 140 calories for half a cup... :noway: I need to double triple check everything. Thanks.:bigsmile:

    Try typing in the fruit and then the word raw
    for instance, blackberries, raw
    or strawberries, raw

    I have found that most of the time, those are the accurate calories. (yes, i'm slightly obsessed with looking on other sites to be sure)
