Blueberries have 57 kcal and 10 g sugar per 100 g. Wild bilberries foraged in the Rhodope and Rila mountains are a cherished Bulgarian tradition. Berry consumption reduces systolic blood pressure by ~3.7 mmHg (Wang et al., Eur J Nutr 2020, 45 RCTs). Sweet and mildly tart — a 125 g punnet delivers roughly 71 kcal.
How should I track Blueberries?
When tracking Blueberries, weigh the edible portion — after peeling, coring, or removing seeds. The part you throw away does not count, but it can make up 20–40% of the total weight depending on the fruit. A systematic review (Whitton et al., Adv Nutr 2022) found that fruits are among the most commonly misestimated food groups. One more thing to watch: fresh and dried versions have very different calorie density. A handful of dried fruit can have the same calories as a whole bowl of fresh — always double-check which form you are logging.
