SERVING SIZE

Calories by portion and serving weight

Words such as “small,” “medium,” “half” and “one piece” are convenient but imprecise. Grams make the estimate reproducible, particularly when natural foods vary in size.

A reliable calorie entry should describe the food you actually ate—not merely a food with a similar name.

Mature, boiled, no salt

Selected reference.

Edamame

Green soybeans are a separate food state.

Dry roasted

Use the roasted record and match salt state.

Sprouted or fermented

Choose the exact product rather than this boiled-bean record.

PRACTICAL CONTEXT

How cooked mature soybeans can fit different goals

There is no universal “good” or “bad” food. Portion, frequency, the rest of the meal, preferences and individual health needs all matter.

At 172 kcal per 100 g, the 10.7 g example is 18.4 kcal.

Fibre check

The selected record lists 6 g fibre per 100 g.

Protein check

The selected record lists 18.2 g protein per 100 g.

Best logging move

Use cooked mature-bean weight and keep edamame, roasted and fermented soy products separate.

PHOTO LOGGING

How to log cooked mature soybeans more accurately

A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.

  1. 01

    Match the exact reference state: Soybeans, mature cooked, boiled, without salt.

  2. 02

    Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the same local USDA record.

  3. 03

    Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.

  4. 04

    Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
