Scones have 15 g fat and 520 mg sodium per 100 g. The butter-rich dough creates a dense crumb that packs more calories per bite than it appears. Cafe scones vary widely — a large triangle can weigh 100–150 g, while a small round one is 50–70 g. Cream and jam toppings can double the calorie count.
How should I track Scone, plain?
Scone, plain is a good source of calcium. Bakery products like Scone, plain vary more than you would expect — even pieces from the same batch can differ by 25–50 g. Research on portion estimation (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows that people are particularly bad at estimating baked goods because size, density, and moisture all vary. The simplest fix: weigh a few pieces with a kitchen scale and you will quickly learn what your usual portion actually weighs. This one-time calibration makes all future logging faster and more reliable.
