How should I track Dried jackfruit?
Dried jackfruit is a good source of fiber. Dried fruits like Dried jackfruit are one of the sneakiest calorie sources because they look small but pack serious energy. Removing the water concentrates the calories — a small handful of dried fruit can match a full bowl of fresh fruit calorically. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows that people underestimate calorie-dense foods by 50–200% when portioning by eye. Weigh on a scale and pre-portion if snacking. Also check whether your variety is sweetened or unsweetened — the sweetened versions add 10–15% more calories from the sugar coating.
