The number of
calories in bread in the list below are shown per 100 grams. An average
slice weighs about 40 grams (1.5 oz) but some slices can be up to 70 grams.
Most bread calories come from
carbohydrates. In white
bread, carbohydrates come from refined flour, the calories are absorbed more
rapidly than in brown or wholemeal breads. Brown bread calories are absorbed
slower due to high fiber levels. High fiber foods contain just as many
calories however, the fiber fills up the stomach quicker so we tend to eat
less food. If we eat less food we naturally consume less calories.
