Logging Heavy Cream: what to know

Whipped cream has air in it, so a cup of whipped weighs less than a cup of fluid cream, and the fluid is 36.1 g of fat per 100 g. A tablespoon is 15 g and 51 kcal, so a generous pour into coffee adds up. Weigh the cream before you whip it, since the whipped volume tells you little about the amount.
