Whether the calories of whole wheat bread are high or not depends on the formula of whole wheat bread. Generally speaking, whole wheat bread only replaces 20% of the wheat flour in ordinary bread with whole wheat flour. In addition, the amount of sugar and oil in whole wheat bread is also reduced a lot, so compared with ordinary bread, the calories of whole wheat bread are really lower. But if you use high sugar and high oil when making whole wheat bread, then this calorie will not be reduced.
Lose weight:
In fact, the whole wheat bread we bought outside is not really whole wheat bread. Real whole wheat bread should be made of flour without bran and wheat germ removed, but many whole wheat breads sold outside are just added with a certain proportion of whole wheat flour, so it is called whole wheat bread. Because the whole wheat doesn't taste very good, so many merchants add a lot of sugar and oil to it in order to improve the taste. This whole wheat bread actually contains more calories than ordinary bread. Eating this whole wheat bread will not only reduce the calories intake of our bodies, but will increase the calories of our bodies. Therefore, if you really want to eat whole wheat bread, you must pay attention to the ingredient list when you buy it. Generally, the proportion of whole wheat is at least 70%, and there is generally no sugar added in it, and the amount of oil is very small. Eating such whole wheat bread can play a role in losing weight.
Whole wheat bread:
Whole wheat bread refers to the ingredients made by grinding wheat flour from wheat before wheat bran removal. The color is light yellow to dark brown, and the taste is worse than that of ordinary refined flour. Baked whole wheat bread has a faint scent, but it is not as delicious as white bread and other refined foods. It is rich in B vitamins, protein and dietary fiber, so it has great nutritional value. Bran is rich in B vitamins, protein and dietary fiber, but its texture is rough and its taste is not good. Only the flour containing germ, endosperm and bran is the real whole wheat flour, which is black, coarse and visible to the naked eye. When used, it should be mixed with a certain proportion of refined white flour, and its shelf life is short. ? It can be seen that whole wheat flour retains more minerals and dietary fiber than polished rice flour, which can make food swell, increase the volume of feces, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote defecation. Moreover, it will be mixed with other foods to form a gel, which will slow down the absorption rate of carbohydrates, especially causing a feeling of fullness and not being hungry for a long time.
Distinguishing method:
1, see the ingredients list
According to China's current "General Rules for Labeling of National Food Safety Standards in prepackaged foods", ingredients should be arranged in descending order. Therefore, ranking first or tied for first in the ingredient list (about 50% or more) proves that the content is the highest among them; If there is no whole wheat flour in it, or it ranks lower, it also proves that the content of whole wheat flour is particularly small; If there is only wheat flour and bran, then the nutritional value will be greatly reduced; If there are colorants, it is more proof that this is fake whole wheat bread or bread with low whole wheat content. ?
2. Look at the color
Whole wheat flour or rye flour keeps aleurone layer, so whole wheat bread is brown, not as white as ordinary bread. However, news broke out that many fake whole wheat breads were colored with caramel pigment, which made ordinary bread brown.
3. Look at bran
Bran is an important symbol to judge whether it is whole wheat flour. Bread that really contains whole wheat flour has bran not only on the surface, but also on the cross section after cutting. The more bran, the richer the fiber content. ?
4. Taste the taste
Because of the existence of bran, the real whole wheat bread will not be soft and rough. To be honest, health and taste are sometimes really difficult, but it will not be too delicious. ? Look at the energy meter
Whole wheat bread is generally made with low fat, low sugar and low calorie, and the energy table should be lower than 1000 kilojoules in order to lose weight.
Whole wheat bread ingredients:
The ingredients in bread will be reflected in the ingredient list. If the top three breads you buy are wheat flour, water, white sugar, etc., then such bread can be abandoned, and the content of whole wheat flour may be very small. If the whole wheat flour you buy is in the first place, the others are wheat flour, salt, yeast, etc., and the ingredients such as white sugar and margarine are not added in the whole ingredient list, it may be considered as a good whole wheat bread.
