As a nutritionist with a focus on dietary analysis, I can provide you with an estimate of the caloric content of a communion wafer. Communion wafers, also known as altar bread or host, are typically very thin and small, made from wheat flour and water. They are low in calories due to their minimal composition.
The caloric content can vary slightly based on the size and thickness of the wafer, but a typical communion wafer is about 5 grams in weight. Considering that 1 gram of carbohydrates provides about 4 calories, and a communion wafer is almost entirely carbohydrates, you can estimate that a single communion wafer contains approximately:
5 grams * 4 calories/gram = 20 calories
Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate and the actual caloric content may vary depending on the specific recipe and preparation method used by the manufacturer.
