Energy comes from USDA nutrient 1008. Salt is calculated as sodium × 2.5, with unit conversion to grams. It is not a separately measured salt value.
Preparation
This row exists for one reason: if you weigh toast, weigh it against this and not against the untoasted loaf. 290 kcal per 100 g against 266 is the same bread with two or three grams of water gone, which lifts the figure per 100 g while leaving the slice exactly where it was. A toaster cannot add calories to bread. It can only make a slice lighter and denser at the same time, which is the whole of what this page has to report.
Logging this food
USDA lists this in more slice sizes than any other food here, and the spread is the point: a large slice is 27 g and 78 kcal, a thin one 17 g and 49, a very thin one 13 g and 38, and a slice with the crust left is 32. A cup of crumbs is 45 g and 131. Weigh a slice from each loaf you buy once and log by weight thereafter.
Swaps and alternatives
Toasted whole-wheat bread is 306 kcal per 100 g — higher, not lower — and the reason to choose it is fibre and protein, not calories. The saving comes from the number of slices or their thickness: two thin slices instead of two large ones is 58 kcal, which is most of a knob of butter.
