Dry pudding mixes are concentrated for storage, not for eating. The reconstituted serving (~25 g powder + 240 ml milk) is the realistic intake. Banana dry powder runs 366 kcal and 74.3 g sugar per 100 g — log the prepared cup, not the powder.
How should I track Banana, dry mix, regular?
The trickiest part about tracking Banana, dry mix, regular is that small portions pack a lot of calories, and most people estimate sweet portions poorly. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) found that calorie-dense foods are underestimated by 50–200% when portioned by eye. Weighing on a scale takes the guesswork out. And here is the mindset shift that helps: tracking sweets is not about guilt. It is about awareness. When you log a treat honestly, you can plan around it and still hit your targets for the day.
