Calories in Bread
Why a slice of bread is the number to track, not 100 g
What makes bread so powerful?
A 100 g portion is about three slices, so the 266 calories listed overstate a single slice, which is closer to 80 to 90 calories for a standard white slice. Whole-wheat and seeded breads add fibre and keep you fuller for similar calories. Toasting does not change the calories, only the water content. Bread is a hidden source of sodium, so check the label if you watch salt.
Count by the slice, and log spreads separately. Choose a dense whole-grain loaf to feel fuller on fewer slices.
