Blueberry muffins are nutritionally closer to cake than bread. Despite a wholesome fruit image, they carry 14 g fat and 28 g sugar per 100 g. Cafe muffins weigh 100–150 g (350–525 kcal), while supermarket versions are smaller at 60–80 g. The size gap makes weighing essential — a cafe muffin can deliver twice the calories of a packaged one.
How should I track Muffin, blueberry?
Bakery products like Muffin, blueberry vary more than you would expect — even pieces from the same batch can differ by 25–50 g. Research on portion estimation (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows that people are particularly bad at estimating baked goods because size, density, and moisture all vary. The simplest fix: weigh a few pieces with a kitchen scale and you will quickly learn what your usual portion actually weighs. This one-time calibration makes all future logging faster and more reliable.
