wheat or multi-grain bread?

[regurgitator]

I have been hearing that it is better to eat multi-grain bread. Opinions?

It's better than wheat because what is sold as wheat or whole wheat bread is often little more than unbleached white bread. They taste pretty much the same to me though.

The kind of Whole wheat bread I buy has 3g of fiber per slice. That's equivalent to the amount you get in your oatmeal. That's a significant amount of fiber i think.

I would go with multi grain
though both are good / not much difference

You 'd better buy organic bread since all the "industrial whole wheat bread" is full of pesticides and other chemicals

any bread is bad when on a cutting diet

Only if you're on a keto or adkins diet. Completely eliminating carbs is not a requirement for cutting.

I did not say eliminate carbs-eat oatmeal for carbs when cutting

 

[gymtime]

My mistake. But the same thing applies to bread. You don't need to eliminate bread to cut.

Please... Fiber is what slows down the digestion of your food. That's one of the main reasons Oatmeal is slow digesting. Now if you eat 2 slices of whole wheat bread, like a chicken sandwhich, that contains double the amount of fiber, and that will be very slow digested food. Don't tell me bread is bad, if it is then oatmeal is worse.

there are no significative differences between oatmeal and whole grain bread:

oatmeal has a little bit more fat (just a bit !)
oatmeal has a lower GI
whole grain bread has a little bit more fiber

but they are both low GI, high fiber complex carbs
