Made from flour that keeps the bran and germ, whole wheat bread carries more fiber than white sandwich bread at a similar calorie level. Carbohydrate supplies most of its energy, and some commercial loaves add honey, sugar, milk or oil to the dough. A thick layer of butter or peanut butter can add as many calories as the slice itself, so measure spreads.
Typical portion: A standard sandwich slice weighs about 28–32 g, which works out to roughly 70–80 kcal.
Also known as: brown bread, wholemeal bread, whole wheat bread slice, atta bread
