Country Bread
Features
Bread is undoubtedly a deeply rooted food in our culture, making our mouths water. There's country bread, Alentejo bread, rye bread, cornbread... Can you choose your favorite? Or even... how do you react just thinking about the aroma of warm bread?
Besides being a very practical food to include in meals, bread is also a good source of energy for daily tasks, and can be included in the diet even for those trying to lose weight. Even so, it's important to better understand which type of bread is best and how much to consume.
In Europe, each person consumes on average 50kg of bread per year, which is equivalent to 137g of bread per day, with one portion corresponding to 50g (2 slices of sliced bread, 1 slice of conventional bread or 1 carcass).
Bread composition
Bread can be made from different cereal grains, such as wheat, barley, rye and oats, and its nutritional content varies.
The nutritional composition of bread will therefore differ depending on the type of flour used (whether it is white or wholemeal) and the components added to it (seeds, fat, among others).
Of course, white bread made with refined flour is a less interesting option than wholemeal bread, which contains a greater amount of fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6) and minerals (such as potassium and magnesium).
Carbohydrates are, par excellence, the macronutrient present in bread in the largest quantity, in the form of starch, a slow-absorbing and easily assimilated sugar. These carbohydrates are therefore useful for providing the body with energy.
Benefits of eating bread
Among the benefits of eating bread, the following stand out:
the contribution to satiety;
improving intestinal transit and, in this sense, preventing constipation;
helping to regulate blood glucose levels;
But what makes you fat? Is it the bread or what we put in it?
Sugary fruit jams, chocolate spreads, full-fat butter, full-fat cheeses, sausages, and sauces certainly don't help with weight management. Therefore, it's important to accompany bread with foods that contain good-quality calories.
But what about the toppings, does bread make you fat? It depends, and in this case, it depends on several factors: the type of bread, the quantity, the quality, and its carbohydrate, protein, and fiber content. There are 50g or 120g loaves; the impact this quantity has on metabolism is very different, as it's more than double the amount. Anyone who has had a DIETABIOTRÊS consultation knows that one factor that contributes to the success of a diet is the type of bread you use, specifically its weight, carbohydrate, and protein content. It's not necessary to weigh every type of food, but it is important to know how many grams of carbohydrates you've consumed.
