‘What a delicious way to start the day’
How many calories are in this French Toast?
There are 324 calories per portion in this French Toast, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category. These are all dishes under 400 calories, ideal for when you’re after a lighter bite (just like the category name suggests!), and they fit with diet plans like Weight Watchers if you’re calorie counting.
To cut the calories down even more, you could halve the portion size, or opt for just fruit as an accompaniment. You’d be surprised at just how delicious bananas or berries are with a sprinkling of cinnamon!
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight, then you might want to adjust these slightly. You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Mix in the cinnamon and granulated sweetener, until the sweetener has dissolved and cinnamon combined.
Step 2
Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and set on a low heat.
Step 3
Place a slice of bread into the egg mixture. Then flip it over, then press down gently to coat the bread.
Step 4
Place into the pan and fry for 2 minutes. Flip it over and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Step 5
Repeat for the other slices of bread. Serve warm with your choice of fruit, yoghurt, or syrup!
