High-fiber whole grain bread
CALORIES
GI
POTASSIUM
FIBER
2 slice (medium) of Whole grain high-fiber bread (56 g) has 138 calories. That works out to 247 calories per 100 g. It contains 23.1 g of carbs, 7 g of protein, 2.4 g of fat and 6 g of fiber. Its 1.1 mg of Manganese covers 46% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 50 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Whole grain high-fiber bread is made with flour that retains the grain’s bran and germ, and may also include visible grains or seeds. It is often baked as a substantial loaf with a firm crust and a close, hearty crumb rather than the light texture of white bread.
Across many English-speaking countries, it is a familiar choice for toast, sandwiches and alongside soups; toasting brings out its nutty, earthy flavour. Its whole grains make it a fibre-rich option, with 10.8 g of fibre per 100 g. Pair it with eggs, hummus or fresh vegetables for a satisfying meal, or choose a modest topping if you want to keep the slice lighter.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
High
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes, whole grain high-fiber bread can be a nutritious everyday choice because it provides fiber and retains more of the grain than bread made with refined flour. Pair it with protein-rich toppings, such as eggs or hummus, for a more satisfying meal.
It can support fullness, since fiber slows digestion, but whole grain high-fiber bread does not cause weight loss by itself. Portion size and what you put on it matter too; generous spreads can add substantially to a meal.
Yes, people with diabetes can often include whole grain high-fiber bread, but its carbohydrates still affect blood glucose. The amount that fits a meal varies by person, so ask your clinician or dietitian for advice tailored to your treatment plan.
Whole grain high-fiber bread may cause gas or bloating when you are not used to eating much fiber, or when you eat a large serving at once. Try a smaller portion and increase fiber gradually while drinking enough fluids.
No, toasting whole grain high-fiber bread does not remove a meaningful amount of fiber. Toasting mainly dries and browns the surface. The toppings you add, rather than the toasting itself, can change the meal’s nutrition substantially.
Look for whole-grain flour or whole-wheat flour near the beginning of the ingredients list on whole grain high-fiber bread. A brown color, visible seeds, or words such as “multigrain” do not by themselves prove that the flour is whole grain.
Not always. Whole-wheat bread is made with whole wheat, while whole grain high-fiber bread may use other whole grains as well. Both can be genuinely whole grain, but names alone do not tell you which grains or flours are in a particular loaf.
Yes, whole grain high-fiber bread freezes well. Slice the loaf first, seal the slices in a freezer-safe bag, and take out only what you need. You can toast slices straight from frozen or let them thaw at room temperature.
Keep whole grain high-fiber bread sealed in a cool, dry place if you will eat it soon. For longer storage, freeze it rather than refrigerating it, since refrigeration can make bread stale faster. Discard the whole loaf if you find mold.
It usually helps support regular bowel movements, but whole grain high-fiber bread can contribute to constipation if you suddenly increase fiber without drinking enough fluids. Add it gradually and drink water throughout the day so the extra fiber can work effectively.
