Some breads are better than others. Whole grains are much healthier than refined flour. My every day bread is made from 21 whole grains and seeds. Macronutrients:
- 1.5 g fat (zero saturated)
- 22 g carbohydrates (including 5 g fiber)
- 5 g protein
Whole grains and seeds are major ingredients of a healthy, plant-based diet.
Training & Nutrition content: My post-ride meal is usually a PB&J sandwich with the above bread, and "jelly" made from fresh fruit that was turned to mush in a blender. I don't like store-bought jelly--way too much sugar.
