Wheat bread?
| Sat, 04-10-2004 - 6:39am |
Do you like wheat bread? Just kidding. I couldn't resist. Now for the real question. I have been reading the labels on different breads. I noticed wonder had only 16 carbs, but no fiber. The whole wheat I have has 19 carbs and 2 gms of fiber. Another one that is really good has 20 carbs and 1.5 gms of fiber. I know the whole wheat is the best, but is there a general rule for how much fiber and carbs a bread should have. The reason I am concerned is this whole wheat bread is just too good for it to be healthy.
thanks lots

The other kind of bread I eat (and prefer, size-wise and taste-wise) is Wellness Multigrain. Less fibre, but more reasonable portions.

Good morning! I don't look at the carbs, so I can't help you there. However, I do look at the fiber. One thing my dietian has shared with me is that if you have the fiber (we need 30-35 grams a day!) your body starts to work to regulate the intake. I love wheat bread. I have also discovered that many will give up on the fiber and whatnot for taste. There is German Wheat that is very dark, in fact the darker the bread the more it is filled with fiber and good for you. It has, if I remember correctly, 3 grams of fiber per slice, which is the most I have found for any wheat bread on the market. Now it's really dark and heavy but it is rather tasty.
