A splash of cream adds more than you think. Per 100 g: 257 kcal, 22.2 g fat, 3.2 g protein. Larger servings cause 20–30% over-consumption (Wansink, Am J Prev Med 2006). Weigh your pour once to calibrate.
How should I track Whipped Cream, light?
The best way to track Whipped Cream, light is by weight, not volume. A 200 g serving of yogurt or cheese varies in density between brands and fat levels, so the same portion can differ by 20–40 calories. Research shows people underestimate calorie-dense dairy portions by up to 50% when eyeballing (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). A kitchen scale keeps things honest. Also check whether the label lists values for the product as sold or as prepared — some powdered or concentrated dairy products show very different numbers once mixed.
