It’s a good time to be grain-free or gluten-free. There are SO many different types of flour for ya! - Follow us @fitnessqueries Follow us @fitnessqueries Follow us @fitnessqueries - Credit - @cheatdaydesign 😍 Get Daily Tips - Fitness and Nutrition🤩 Calorically, most flour is going to be pretty similar. 1/4 cup will almost always yield you 100-140 calories. The major outlier here is almond flour, but that is due to it having the highest fat content out of all options. Where you’ll find the biggest differences here are in the carbs and fiber. Coconut flour, for example, has a whopping 10g of fiber, where all purpose flour barely has any. Eating gluten free used to mean completely giving up baked goods, but almost all of the flours on this list are gluten free! With the obvious exceptions of course being the two wheat flours, most other options here are gluten free. For most of these flours, you can’t substitute 1:1 with wheat flours in recipes due to their nutritional differences and properties (the lack of gluten being a major factor). I’m no expert when it comes to making baking substitutions, so you’ll have to consult someone who is, but I have found the use of oat flour and almond flour to be very useful as substitutions. Baking substitutions can be a very complex science though. It’s worth noting that different brands will have different macros, and a lot of that is due to the serving size. I used Bob’s Red Mill to be consistent, but if you compare their whole wheat flour to other brands, you’ll notice the calories are higher. In a lot of cases, 1/4 cup is 100 calories. That’s because Bob’s serving size is 38g (but still 1/4 cup), where most other brands use 30g as a serving. When you follow recipes, you’ll often end up weighing out grams instead of using cup measurements. But for ease of comparison, I just stuck with the 1/4 cup serving, even if the weights vary. There are even more flours than I was able to list here. Basically if you can grind something up into a powder, you have flour! I mean, even cricket flour exists. #fittips #diettips #diethelp #nutrition101 #weightlosstips #grainfree #flexiblediet #flexibledieting #fatlosshelp #glutenfreebaking
