How should I track Type Bread, Bulgarian (baked)?
Type Bread, Bulgarian is a good source of iron. The key to tracking Type Bread, Bulgarian 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.
