Where the calories come from
Calories come from three macronutrients: protein and carbohydrate at 4 kcal per gram, fat at 9 kcal per gram. For multigrain bread (multigrain) the split is:
- Protein: 13.4 g × 4 = 53 kcal — 20% of calories
- Carbohydrates: 43.3 g × 4 = 173 kcal — 65% of calories
- Fat: 4.2 g × 9 = 38 kcal — 14% of calories
- Most of the energy in multigrain bread (multigrain) comes from carbohydrate (65% of calories).
- It provides 7.4 g of fibre per 100 g, which is a good amount.
- For 200 kcal you can eat about 75 g.
Compare preparations
The same food, prepared differently. Cooking removes water (so calories per 100 g rise), adds fat (so they rise further), or both.
| Preparation | Calories | Protein | Carbohydrates | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White bread (white) | 266 | 8.9 g | 49.4 g | 3.3 g |
| Whole wheat bread (whole wheat) | 252 | 12.5 g | 42.7 g | 3.5 g |
| Rye bread (rye) | 259 | 8.5 g | 48.3 g | 3.3 g |
| Sourdough bread (sourdough) | 272 | 10.8 g | 51.9 g | 2.4 g |
| Multigrain bread (multigrain)this page | 265 | 13.4 g | 43.3 g | 4.2 g |

What actually changes the number
"Multigrain" says nothing about whole grains or calories: 265 kcal per 100 g, the same as white. Seeds on the crust add fat and calories rather than removing them.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of multigrain bread as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
