Uno Sourdough Whole Wheat Bread - How Many Calories?

Slice weights for UNO sourdough whole wheat bread

The supplier label for the 450 g sourdough whole wheat loaf gives 226 kcal per 100 g. UNO's regular Firindan, chia and toast loaves are separate products, so their labels should not be substituted for this one.¹ See the separate ingredient profile for regular Firindan whole wheat bread when comparing the two loaves.

Calories in one or two slices

The manufacturer describes the 450 g loaf as nine portions. That works out to 50 g and 113 kcal per portion, not necessarily per slice. A weighed 35 g slice gives 79 kcal; two slices of that weight give 158 kcal. Enter the actual weight in the calculator if your slices are thinner or thicker.

What do whole wheat and sourdough mean here?

The ingredients include whole wheat flour, water, 10% sourdough, yeast and bran. The 100% statement attached to the flour does not mean the entire loaf consists of flour. A 50 g portion provides 2.95 g fibre, 5.2 g protein and 19.8 g carbohydrate. Those amounts rise with the portion size; brown colour alone is not a reliable way to identify a wholegrain loaf.

Another sourdough loaf sold as village bread may use a different flour blend. The Demirali village bread example provides 1.68 g fibre in 50 g; compare the two loaves at the same weight.

Can sourdough whole wheat bread fit a weight-loss diet?

There can be room for bread in a meal. Consider the weight and the foods alongside it rather than assigning a fixed allowance to an undefined slice. A meal with cheese, eggs or vegetables may need a different bread portion from one consisting mainly of bread. The sourdough name does not make this loaf calorie-free or guarantee the same blood glucose response in everyone.

Does sourdough remove the gluten?

This label explicitly declares gluten, so the loaf should not be presented as suitable for a gluten-free diet. It may also contain traces of sesame. If the ingredients or pack size change, use the label on your loaf rather than copying these portion examples.
