On an ordinary morning at work, a migrant worker who bought breakfast picked up an ordinary meat floss bread at a convenience store.
120 grams, palm-sized, guess how many calories it has?
According to the conversion of the nutrition facts list, the whole person is sober! A loaf of bread is fast 500 kcal and contains 33 grams of fat???
Originally, I just wanted to eat a simple breakfast, but who knew it was so oily (the fritters are at least still oily on the surface, and the oil has to be understood)
Formula: 1729 * 1.2 ÷ 4.18 ≈ 496 kcal (1729 kJ per 100 g, 120 g for bread, therefore multiplied by 1.2; 4.18 is the conversion factor between kJ and kcal)
Who knows, it's just a loaf!?
A grilled chicken thigh burger costs 400 kcal, and a Big Mac burger costs only 524 kcal. The fat is even more outrageous, with only 18 grams of fat in a large serving of fries.
496 kcal, you can eat the "hamburger + a pair of fried chicken wings + zero degree cola + apple" package, and there are still calories left......
Who would have thought that a small piece of bread would be so high in calories.
Seemingly ordinary bread, with such a caloric killing power?
After carefully studying the ingredient list of more bread, there is an even more surprising thing, this calorie assassin in the bread world is not alone.
And there's something even more outrageous than that!
Calories in three types of bread
More outrageous than fried chicken, french fries
The richer the ingredients of the bread, the more fancy the flavor and texture, and the higher the calories.
The following 3 types of bread are easy to turn into calorie assassins, and friends who are losing weight must keep their eyes open and take a closer look at the ingredient list!
1
Filling: chocolate, meat floss, desiccated coconut
The crust of the bread is usually plain, but the calories of the filling are high.
If you want the filling to be silky soft and not dry, the easiest way is to put oil, a lot of oil.
For example, the aforementioned meat floss bread, vegetable oil and salad dressing are all put in, and the calories are even higher.
Chocolate bread is even more outrageous, with a lot of fat up to 25%+, which is more fat than chicken cutlets!
75 grams of chocolate sandwich bread ≈ the calories of chicken cutlet
There is also a deeply hidden coconut filling, the coconut itself is super high in fat but has no taste, so you have to add sugar. In the ingredient list, there is more white sugar than desiccated coconut.

Crispy: croissants, pineapple buns, shredded buns
The crispiness of the croissant is the same as our finger cake: layer by layer of puff pastry is layer by layer of oil.
And noodles, there is more oil than water.
The pineapple bun with a fat content of 15%~20%, that layer of puff pastry is also a masterpiece of oil. There is also hand-torn bread, which can be torn layer by layer is also the credit of the oil

Fried: doughnuts, puff pastry toast
Other breads are baked, doughnuts are fried and bathed in syrup, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and filled with cream in the high-end version......
It's a Western version of fried sugar cakes.
Donut production step – frying.
If you eat clearly, you are not afraid, but you can take care of your mouth and eat occasionally to satisfy your cravings. The annoying thing is that some bread looks mediocre and eats like that, but it secretly urges fat people......
As a common breakfast partner, how can we tell if a bread is healthy? Do you have any recommendations for healthy and delicious products?

How to buy healthy and delicious bread?
Pay attention to these 2 points
Many businesses have noticed everyone's health needs for bread and have worked recipes and processes.
But keep your eyes peeled when buying.

Look at the ingredient list, the ingredients of coarse grains should be high
Although many breads are labeled as "whole wheat" and "whole grains", the first place on the ingredient list is "wheat flour". Looking back, there is a lot of oil and sugar added......
In others, some grain particles are sprinkled on the surface of the bread before baking, creating a "coarse grain atmosphere".
Such "whole wheat bread" is not high in whole wheat and not low in calories......
For the real "whole grain/multigrain bread", the first in the ingredient list is, of course, "whole wheat flour/whole grain flour".
In the product ingredient list, coarse grain flour is best in the first place

Look at the nutrition facts list and bread varieties, choose the one with less oil
Some sugar alcohol sweeteners can help reduce sugar use, but replacing the oil is a bit harder......
The easiest way is to look at the nutrition facts list, it is recommended to choose a fat content of ≤ 10%, and 100 grams of bread is not burdensome.
What if it's freshly baked and there is no nutrition facts and ingredient list?
It is recommended to choose the original varieties without filling, such as alkaline water knots, bagels, etc., to eat a pure grain wheat flavor, the more you chew, the more addictive you are, and you can also exercise your cheeks along the way.
Plain pure wheat has about 250 kcal per 100 grams.
For a richer taste, try the varieties with cheese or dried fruit.
Compared with the oily and creamy filling, the natural oil and protein in cheese, and the soft and sweet taste of the fruit, all of which can make the bread taste more layered and relatively healthier after baking.
Of course, whether it is delicious or not, you have to taste it yourself to know.
When you want to buy "low-fat and healthy" bread, you can try to refer to the following criteria:
- Whole grains and whole wheat are the main components;
- Fat content ≤ 10%;
- Keep the materials as simple as possible;
- Delicious, delicious, delicious!
