Flour Calories, Nutritional Values

Weight Gain Related to Flour

Because this food is so rich in caloric values it doesn't take much to really rack-up the pounds.

We use this ingredient in so many foods as well as recipes that we prepare for the family table - from bread to thickening purposes.

Some types are healthier than others and take note that when choosing which type to use that selections should be based on the entire nutritional data - not solely on caloric content.

Acorn Flour, High in Fat, Calories

One of the unhealthier of the mix is Acorn flour which contains over 1100 per cup and almost 17 milligrams of cholesterol. The Sesame Seed choice is also very steep in Kcals and contains more fat than the Acorn type.

However, it is the richest of the flours when it comes to protein grams content - almost 70 grams per 8 ounces.

One of the healthier choices is Carob at a tab over 200 Kcals per cup. At over 40 grams of dietary fiber, it's a true contender.
