WHOLE-GRAIN TOAST

WHOLE-GRAIN TOAST

Bread nutrition varies depending on the type of bread that you choose to eat. Nutrition and health experts recommend that you increase your intake of whole grains, so choosing WHOLE-GRAIN bread is usually a smart choice.

A single slice of commercially prepared whole wheat bread (shown on label) provides almost 70 calories and about 1 gram of fat. The slice also provides almost 4 grams of protein and 11.6 grams of carbohydrate. But since it also provides about 2 grams of fiber, you'll only consume about 9.6 net carbs per slice.

Remember, however, that you need to double those nutrition counts if you make a sandwich with two slices of bread.
