Allergen Info
Wheat
What is this food?
This is flour-based baked goods (wheat flour/cake flour, often used for breads, cakes, and pastries). In your context, it’s mainly a carbohydrate food.
Why it matters to health
Per 100 g, it provides about 370 kcal and ~79.7 g carbohydrates, with small fiber (~1.8 g) and low sugar (~0.3 g) in the plain flour form. It also has very low fat (~1.7 g) and low saturated fat (~0.25 g), plus low sodium (~2 mg). What to watch: since it’s mostly carbs and has limited fiber, it can be easy to overeat, especially when it’s turned into cakes, breads, or pastries that may also add sugar and fats. Pairing it with protein and vegetables helps keep meals more balanced and satisfying.
Healthier tips
- Use flour-based items as part of your meal, not as the whole meal—pair with protein (egg, fish, chicken, tofu) and vegetables or fruit.
- For snacks, choose smaller portions (e.g., 1 small slice or a few pieces) and combine with water, milk, or yogurt.
- Prefer whole-grain or higher-fiber options when available (more fiber helps with fullness).
- If it’s a sweet pastry/cake, watch the added sugar—balance it by keeping your next meal lighter on carbs.
- Keep your daily pattern in mind: 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks, so flour-based snacks don’t crowd out nutrient-rich foods.
