We come willing to demystify myths about bread and to reveal one of the great mysteries around this food so necessary for our diet: crumb or crust of bread, which makes you fatter?
For many years it has been believed that the crumb was the part of the bread that provided more calories, hence many people removed it, staying only with the outer part of the bread. On the other hand, the crust is usually used to pringar sauce, which, regardless of whether it fattens more than the crumb, its use accompanied by other foods, makes us add calories. But back to the topic that worries us: what has more calories: the breadcrumb or the crust?
The crumb or the crust of bread: what makes you more fat?
The crumb has more air and more water, and the crust has more nutrients, making it more fattening. Perhaps with an example you will see it clearer: if we compare 100 grams of crumb and 100 grams of crust, the second would provide more calories because it has more nutrients, more carbohydrates and less water.
If in the end what you want is to control your weight, what you have to do is not abuse the bread – or any other food – control what you use for the filling, which is what really has calories, and not get rid of the crumb.
How much fattening does bread grow?
Many dietitians and nutritionists take bread out of the diet radically. Are they right? Some of those consulted argue this decision not because of the number of calories but because bread is usually accompanied by high-fat products: cheeses, sausages, sauces .. Those who allow a controlled consumption of bread, recommend taking it in the morning, in order to burn the carbohydrates it contains and try to avoid it from 6:00 p.m.
On the other hand, we must bear in mind that not all breads are equally fattening. While normal bread contains approximately 240 calories per 100 grams, wholemeal bread provides about 250 calories for the same amount. Yes, it makes you more fat, but it also contains more fiber, helping heavy digestions and constipated people in their evacuation. As for sliced bread, which has a bad reputation, it remains at the same levels as normal bread, but the negative part is that it contains many sugars, preservatives and dyes. And what about toast and spikes? The first accounts for almost 380 calories per 100 grams, while the peaks – attentive to addicts to them – exceed 400 calories per 100 grams.
With all this, surely the next time you go to your usual bakery or your supermarket, you will think very hard before choosing one type of bread or another, right?
But, as we always say, to have a healthy and balanced diet you have to eat everything, but do it in the right amounts, and accompany the diet of an exercise routine. Do we start our particular bikini operation?
