 Re: Celery...Uh oh! | |
No, cooking a food does not increase its carb count, although it might shrink its volume (e.g. 1 cup of cooked spinach is much more than 1 cup of loosely packed raw spinach).
Going back to celery... The reason Fitday shows that huge number of carbs for "Celery, cooked" is that it assumes you are using a standard recipe. At our university canteen for example, they add broth and maple syrup to it. But if you are cooking a meal yourself, just enter separately the raw ingredients you are using.
