Estimating calories

How would you go about estimating the calories in a slice of homemade bread with two different types of flour in it??

i'd consider the size and disregard the fact that there are 2 types because most flours have similar calorie counts, about 400 calories per cup. the size and how many slices were in the bread along with the details of the ingredients are the only way to know. you can guesstimate by simply looking it up online, googling images of bread to see the size and then just forget about it. you don't need a perfect number.

380 calories per 100g roughly

i'd say weigh the ingredients you put in

get the calories for the whole loaf by weighing the ingredients and referencing with the nutritional info on the back

use percentages to get the calories

so slice weight divided by loaf weight multiplied by 100

this gives you the percentage, then use that percentage of the total loaf calories

so if one slice gives you 12% and your whole loaf weight, and your loaf  has 1000 calories

then that slice is 120 calories

you probably know all that

but once you know how much the whole loaf is, round it up to the nearest 100 calories

makes it easier to know if you eat half a 1000 calorie loaf, you will be eating 500 cals

and yeah, flours are almost always roughly the same calories

Thanks. My boyfriends mom made the bread, and it has a multigrain flour with flax seeds in it. I think the flax adds to the count so it makes it more difficult. Maybe I'll just go buy a loaf!

Ask her for the recipe...She'll probably be flattered, and then you can enter it into the recipe analyzer .
