how bad is bread really? ive already eaten 3 slices today ha

Well if you're talking about white bread, it sucks. Highly processed carb, won't do your blood sugar any favors, stripped of any nutrition. Wheat bread is much better obviously, but even then, I think there are better options.

ok thanks but what if ur eatin white bread, n still takin in less calories than burnin off. would it make a diffirence??

Whole wheat bread > White bread, in all situations all the time...


If I may so ask, how does your diet and training look?

lunch: sandwich usually meat ham or chicken

snack: apple pie - bad i think oops


training:

20-30 mins working out weight training mixed with cardio bout 3,4 times a week.

Spinach, carrots, beans to name a few...

You may want to give Whole Wheat Pita Bread a try. The one I use has three ingredients: Whole Wheat Flour, Yeast, and salt, and nothing else. Good source of carbs about 27g (for two halves), and the best thing is the price (at least where I live). One package of 6 (or 12 pocket halves) is about $1.25. They have 80c per half pocket or 160c for one loaf. Can stuff them with Chicken, Nat. PB, Tuna, or other nutritious food item of your choice.

Ive been eating Light wheat bread, only 8g carbs a slice its awsome. You should check that out.

is light wheat bread in most supermarkets? sorry ive never heard of it before.

Light generally means, it has less calories, carbs, or something along this nature, and is sometimes not better. It IS better if its lower in calories and allows for more bulk (at least in this sense) in the diet if in deficit. Yes, you can find this in stores.

However, whether its light or not, one in my opinion needs to steer away from enriched (bleached) white flour based bread.

The carbs in stoned ground or whole wheat flour are good complex carbs (in other words slow releasing throughout the day), and look for ones without HFC or refined sugar or bad oils in them. (and this is difficult to find). This is why I eat pita bread instead.

i think i will just stick to eating brown bread. thats good right?

Jackie,
With your diet I see a "sweet tooth" and it takes one to know one.

I have found the colored bell peppers are really yummy and they don't have as much sugar in them, and they have lots of other vitamins that are good for the bod, and skin.

just a lil trick
