    Hey,

    Quick question from those in the know. Made a loaf of porridge bread today and measured out all my ingredients (350g oats, 500g yogurt, 3 tbsp oil etc.) and done up the total calories in the ingredients (2620 kcal). So when it was baked I weighed it myself and divided the calories by the weight in grams to see how many calories per gram (for easy tracking on myfitnesspal).

    Had a slice of it this evening and its coming out at 328 calories for an 82g slice which seems very calorie dense (I know they're good clean calories).

    My question is am I right with all of the above? Assuming I am but wanted to make sure.

    Thanks

    Yeah I calculated it before and it was about that. Was not worth it for me considering the relatively low protein ratio. Also good clean calories mean nothing if they put you over your calories for the day.

    That'd be ballpark what I calculated it before. It is a nice swap, but a slice is nearly the same as 4 slices of a multiseed/ multigrain loaf. That was just too much for me really.

    I make porridge bread with the following main ingredients: 300g oats, 1 large egg, 500g Fage Total 0% yogurt, 1 tbsp flax seed, 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, 1 tbsp sunflower seeds, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds.

    Total calories of raw ingredients is 1,650 kcal.

    I'm not sure how much the loaf weighs.

    What's your full recipe OP?

    Oats are close to 4cals/g, oil is c.9cals/g, the yogurt is maybe 2cal/g.
    Averaging about 3cal/g, which gets higher when you remove moisture.
    The finished bread being 4cal/g sounds right.
