i was just shocked to see there is 288cals in 100g portion in the bread i use, its a brown seeded loath so i thought i was ok but 100g`s seems like the weight of one slice leaving my samwich with over 700cals in it. have i worked this out right is the weight of a slice of bread 100g? also what could i have to supliment bread? i seem to be losein weight at a steady rate to everyone else on here.
 
I've started buying 35-calorie bread recently.
In my personal opinion, I can't taste much of a difference, if any, and it's 4 times better for me than the bread I WAS eating.
 
my stone ground weat bread is only 90 cals a slice and my homemade wheat bread is 110 a slice.. seems odd yours is 300 cals a slice..
 
I think I have this mystery solved. My bread, made by Orowheat is the large slices of bread. One slice has 70 calories, but the serving size is one slice (38g). 100g (your serving size) I believe related to that amount of bread. Is your bread pre-sliced Scott? I would guess that it's not pre-sliced, and if it is, it will be around 50g at the most (a BIG slice of bread)... basically, you should see how many grams are in the loaf of bread, and divide that way (if the loaf is 1kg, then you have 10 servings of bread. If there is 20 slices, than that means you have 50g/slice or 144 calories. Does that make sense? I am kind of rambling :smash::smash::smash:

right so 100g is 288cals, with 800g in a bag and 18 slices. so its like 260 for 2 slices?

yes its pre sliced and thanks
 
Yeah, that's right man... 800g/18 slices = 44.4g/ slice. That's about 130 calories/ slice, that is still pretty high man...

How about the caloric breakdown, does it have the g of fat, g of carbs, g of protien?

In 1g of fat, there are 9 calories
In 1g of carbs, there are 4 calories
In 1g of protien there are 4 calories.

To make 130 calories, there must be some added protein, or some added fat in there? It would be interesting to know what the total amounts of the above are.

As far as the weight of 1 bread slice is concerned it's 40-70gms and not 100gms. Apart from this you can go for breads with less calories such as avg brown bread(220 cal),Granary bread(240cal), wholemeal bread(216 cal) per 100gm bread.
 
around 300 kcal / 100g is pretty much standard for bread, when you think of it, most grains are basically pure carbs with a little protein in there. both of which are excactly 3kcal / 1g. Then you have maybe some oil in there which elevates the average, then you have some water and fibers that lower it. So around.. just below 300 kcal per 100g should be pretty standard unless the bread is filled with something... non-caloric that is.. edible?
