anyone else in here eat wheat bread to get some good carbs?

glycemic index is kind of high. would not consider this a slow-burning carb.

so what would you consider it?

most whole wheat breads, although better than white bread, are still fairly high in GI. That being said, who eats just bread? In the scheme of things, it makes little difference in a mixed meal

well
i like having a tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread...

[skoowat]

i would consider it a simple carb, in the ballpark with sugar, white rice, and white potatos (not sweet). they all spike your insulin. definitely depends on what effect you are after.

a simple carb? Hardly. sugar is the only simple carb you listed. Potatoes and white rice are somewhere around 100 of the GI scale, Whole wheat bread is around 75. But as as I said before, as long as you do not eat it alone, it will make little difference in the long term.

i didn't mean literally! "i would consider it a simple carb" < > "it IS a simple carb" - if you want to get that picky.

take remarks in context PLEASE! the OP asked if wheat bread is a slow-burning carb which it is NOT.

The G.I of foods is pretty useless in the grand scheme of things, the glycemic load is far more helpful, although total calories consumed is always going to be the most important factor.
