Breads and its benefits

Which is best? White Bread or Multigrain Bread?

White and multigrain breads derive the bulk of their calories from carbohydrates. However, each type of bread affects the body differently.

The complex carbs from multigrain breads are digested more slowly and provides slower-burning forms of energy. Meanwhile, the white bread is readily digested and spikes insulin levels, which can increase the body's tendency to build muscle mass or body fat stores, depending on the time of the day it is consumed.

Eating white bread before or after work-out is good for delivering fast-digesting carbs to muscles, both to replenish glycogen and to get aminos into them for repair and growth. However, The calories form large quantities of white bread eaten at other times of day are more likely to be stored as body fat.

I would recommend you to eat multigrain bread rather than having white bread, because the complex carbs found in the former are less likely to be stored as body fat. But, if your fan of eating white breads, I would recommend you to reduce consumption at most meals of the day. Much better, consume white bread before of after workouts, because you are training, you will tend to burn them as fuel rather than storing them as body fat.

Did you know? That the average slice of white bread has about 80 calories and 15g of carbs.
