Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat Bread

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2004/11/18, 09:30 PM The nutrition facts on this bread per slice is 40 calories, 1 gram of fat, 10 grams of carbs (5 of those are fiber grams) and 4 grams of Protein. I have 2 questions about this bread. One of them has to do with the carbohydrate information. I know that fiber has a negligible effect on blood sugar levels and all, but does that mean they don't count as calories? What I'm trying to say is that, if I eat 2 slices of bread, how much grams of carbohydrates do i count that as? Would it be only 10 grams of Carbs since The Fiber doesn't count? As for my second question, I see that it has a pretty good amount of protein for bread, is this bread a good source of protein, or is it one of them proteins that are not fully proteins? Thanks for the info. DX

Therefore, in terms of "net" carbohydrates, one slice of bread has 5 grams. Also, the protein in any type of non-animal product, except soy, is going to be an incomplete protein, including your bread.
