Bee pollen has 314 kcal per 100 g with 24 g protein and 14 g fiber. The nutrient density is interesting, but clinical evidence for performance or health benefits in humans is sparse. A 10 g serving adds 31 kcal – relatively insignificant in a daily total.
How should I track Bee pollen?
Bee pollen is high in zinc. Supplement tracking comes down to two things: measuring the supplement itself and logging everything around it. For powders like Bee pollen, a kitchen scale beats a scoop — scoops typically deliver 10–20% more than the stated serving (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013, found portion errors of 50–200% for dense foods). For capsules and tablets, count-based tracking is simpler but still matters at multiple daily doses. The real tracking trap is what you mix supplements with — milk, fruit, or nut butter can turn a 30-calorie serving into a 400-calorie shake. Log each ingredient separately for an accurate total.
