Calories in bolo de arroz?

northcircular

Occasionally there's food left over from meetings at my work and I have that for lunch. Sometimes they have some of these Portuguese rice muffins, called bolo de arroz, that look like this:

Unfortunately they aren't listed on the food database, and when I've looked up information on them it's all in Portuguese (obviously), which I don't speak. I've found some numbers but I don't really know what they represent - whether it's for an entire cake, half a cake, what size of cake, or 100g. Can anyone help out? I'll submit it to the database if you can (or you can submit it yourself of course.

You can do that on My Fitness Pal as well though. The problem is that they're ready made cakes purchased from a catering supplier so I don't know the recipe.

I looked but could not find anything with the nutrition facts. But they look don't look low cal. They look like french brioche, which has a lot of butter.

The catering supplier should have the nutritional information. You can find out the company that makes the product and contact them or you can guess? I did find these http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/the-new-england-muffin-company-portuguese-muffin-733766 but don't know if they are the same.
