How to choose breakfast bread?
In terms of calories, the harder the bread, the lower the calories. In fact, hard bread is not sweet and contains almost no sugar and oil. On the other hand, soft bread contains about 10% oil, which is high in calories.
Therefore, when buying bread, Danish bread has the highest calorie content. Generally speaking, 20% to 30% butter or "shortening" and "hard" bread are the first choice.
Because bread is a kind of high-salt food, when you buy it, you should see clearly the sodium content on the nutrient list and try to choose products with "light taste".
From the health point of view, whole wheat bread with "rough" taste and rich dietary fiber is a good choice. This kind of bread can not only help reduce blood fat, but also relieve constipation. However, it should be noted that some merchants will make bread with white flour and just dress it up outside. Look at the ingredient list. If bread flour ranks first and whole wheat flour ranks second and third, it is definitely not real whole wheat flour.
