How does one calculate nutrition facts with the following information?
Serving: 1 slice of bread (45 g); calories 120 - calories from fat 15.
How do you calculate the following for this slice of bread? Because if it is what I think it is...that is alot of calories per slice!!
*Calories per gram: Fat 9 * carbs 4 * protein 4
Answers:
I usually buy bread that have 110 per 2 slices. If it is for 1 slice, I don't buy.
Here some sites that will guide you, they are very good information:

the bottom numbers that I think are freaking you out are percentages.....120 calories is fairly standard for a piece of bread .....light breads have about 80 calories with 10 of those calories coming from fat ..
WTF? You're asking us to calculate the number of calories... given the number of calories!?!
EDIT: and by the way, this is the Vegetarian/Vegan section. If you want to obsess over meaningless numbers, you want the Diet and Fitness section.
Actually I'd say that's a soft, fairly large slice of bread that's mostly air! If you do the math it averages out to less than 3 calories per gram (2 2/3rds) and the fat content is average.
Other than that little bit there's no data to say whether it's really nutritious or not.
Do you mind adding detail to your question to tell us what bread that information comes from?
