How should I track Eclair, chocolate?
The trickiest part about tracking Eclair, chocolate 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.
