What changes the calories
- Roll size varies a lot, so a large roll or bun (43 g, 133 calories) has noticeably more than a small dinner roll.
- Spreading butter or margarine on a roll adds the calories of the fat you use, which can easily rival the roll itself.
- Enriched or sweet rolls made with extra butter, eggs, milk or sugar are usually higher in calories than plain dinner rolls.
- Toppings baked onto the crust, such as cheese or seeds, add their own calories on top of the bread.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh a roll once on a kitchen scale to learn whether your usual rolls are closer to the 25 g small size or the 43 g large size.
- Log butter, jam, or other spreads as separate entries so they are not overlooked.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your plate and then adjust the portion to match the roll's actual size.
