Our take
Blueberries have clearly more calories and carbs per 100 g than strawberries, while protein and fiber are alike. Strawberries give you more volume for the same calories, and blueberries are the denser handful.
If you are swapping one for the other, compare by the amount you actually eat, which is the per-portion table above, not only the per-100 g table: the two foods are rarely eaten by the same weight.
