Alpen has 352 kcal per 100 g with 9.1 g fiber. Unlike granola, muesli is unbaked – the raw oat and dried fruit base avoids the added oils that make granola calorie-dense. A typical bowl is 50–70 g. With 20 g sugar per 100 g, check whether yours is sweetened or relies only on fruit sugars.
How should I track Alpen?
Alpen is high in fiber. The key to tracking Alpen is knowing whether you are logging dry or cooked weight. Grains absorb 2–3 times their weight in water during cooking, so 80 g of dry rice becomes about 200 g cooked. Mixing up dry and cooked values can throw your calorie count off by 200–300%. A meta-analysis (Reynolds et al., Lancet 2019) linked higher whole grain intake to reduced mortality — but only accurate tracking captures the real intake. Weigh on a kitchen scale before cooking and use the matching nutrition values.
