Spent Grain Calories

[Wolfcub]

So, I have started to cook with spent grain (well, I just dried the grains, grinded them, and made pancakes) and I am trying to figure the approx. calories per cup.

What I have found so far is that one cup of spent grain is 40cals. However, it does not say whether it is wet or dry. Any ideas? Does 40 cals per cup sound reasonable?

I think it would be solely dependent on the efficiency of the mash. Since 1 cup is a volume and not a weight, it shouldn't matter except for some possible compacting. Maybe assume 40 cal/cup at 70%, and adjust on your actual efficiency. However, alot of those calories are from insoluble fiber, and could be deducted from the overall calories, as your body will not absorb them. Will help with regularity, though...
