How much bread should I eat?

Bread is good for you in moderation as long as it is not slathered with butter and is whole wheat or whole grain bread. Bread can be substituted in your diet with rice, pasta or a whole potato. A whole potato is one with the skin still on. A healthy bread amount in a person’s diet should make up less than 36% of the meal. 

Cereals and rice can be eaten in place of bread for many meals. These carbohydrate foods are low in fat and high in fiber. These are important considerations for those that are fighting weight gain and are trying to eat a balanced meal. Substitutions like cereal are also important, as the cereal will supply the folic acid needed for a healthy diet. 

Allot of people put on weight because they don’t notice the amount of bread they are eating, keep an eye on your bread consumption and if you notice it becoming a problem cut it down or cut it out.
