Bread - white vs brown vs black

[Hakiel]

I know – I know – bread is evil. But let ussuppose for a minute that it was ok to eat it. What would be ahealthier kind of bread? Brown, black, white bread? Bread with brans,or without? What is your take here?

On the odd rare occasion (outside of my 2x a week work lunch when I have no choice) I'd prefer wholemeal / brown.

I think the same - wholemeal and brown. What do you with about bread with bran? Any particular benefits of using it?

rye bread would be the best one to eat IMO

but no bread is going to help

It's fine. But take note - the less bread in a serious diet the better.

Read up on sourdough bread before you just run throwing bread completely off the table

Ezekiel bread is 100% your best bet bud!

And no, eating say 1/4th of your carbs in bread (not white unless directly POST workout) is not a big deal.

I am currently consuming over 550g carbs a day, and 240g of these carbs is from WHITE bagels post workout! I am up from 9.3%bf to just over 10.5 % (Was 10.4% 3lb ago), so I am still relatively lean.

Nothing wrong with fast carbs post workout, even on a cut I consume 50% of my carbs as "white/fast carbs" post workout, and I have no trouble hitting 8-9%. Was sub 5% last contest but I had a lot of ttrouble getting there haha
