Bread?

[Pumper_Sue]

Just idly looking at the wrapping on a Warburton's large white medoum sliced loaf I am fairly appalled to see that 4 slices of it not only contains 72g of carbs but that it also contains 1,636 calories.

To my mind that's an awful lot of my days calories to 'waste' on bread. Especially 'boring' bread! LOL

This was what I was trying to get over to OP 4 slices in one go is a lot of carbs and the impact is 😱 There's no reason not to eat white bread but not 4 slices like that. There's ways and means of reducing the impact as well. As in using a suitable filling to lower the GI of the over all meal.

Jenny, 72 g carbs sounds about right but that would only be 288 cal + some from protein and a little fat. I think you read the kilojoule figure rather than the kilocalorie figure.
1636kj =391 kc (courtesy of an online calculator 🙂 )

It did sound a lot for 4 slices of bread! 😱

I buy the oatilicious bread by kingsmill, it doesn't have the seeds in which my kids dislike but I presume the fact that it contains oats makes the GI lower??

ROFL - I've been looking for this thread to apologise! - KiloJoules, got it in one!

Don't worry, getting my eyes tested in January! LOL

I never normally look at the calories, fat or protein in most things - so that's my excuse !
