Form Wheat Biscuit - How Many Calories?

Counting Bran Biscuit Packs

Which pack are you counting?

This calculation uses Form plain bran biscuits sold in a 5 × 45 g multipack. One inner 45 g pack supplies 184 kcal, 5.9 g protein and 5.04 g fibre. All five packs weigh 225 g and provide 920 kcal. The outer pack is not a single small serving.

A weighed half-pack of 22.5 g provides 92 kcal. Eating the remaining half later still brings the day’s amount to a full pack. Total weight eaten is more useful here than the number of separate snack occasions.

Reading “bran” and “Light”

The ingredients include 10.5% bran as well as whole or cracked wheat. A 45 g pack contains 5.04 g fibre and 26.69 g carbohydrate. Bran does not remove the product’s calories. To calculate a specific reduction implied by “Light”, you would also need the label of the product used for comparison.

One pack contains 1.125 g salt and about 1.67 g total sugars. If tracking salt, count the amount in the whole pack you eat. Plain biscuits, mixed-fruit biscuits and cracker sticks have different proportions of flour, fat, bran and other ingredients.

Oat Altınbaşak declares 11% bran and 5% oat flakes; those are not this plain Form biscuit’s proportions. When comparing oat, bran and whole-wheat products, check which ingredient each percentage describes.

Label and allergens

Migros’s 225 g multipack listing reports 409 kcal per 100 g. It has not been averaged with the 422 kcal reported for a different 45 g listing. The selected formulation contains wheat gluten and metabisulfite; gluten and sulfites are present. It may contain traces of celery, sesame, milk, peanuts and eggs. Use your own pack’s values if its label differs.
