Yes!  Even for those of us wishing to lose body fat and gain muscle! 

Often neglected as part of a ‘healthy diet’, the sandwich, for its simplicity, can be a great addition to any meal plan.  

Over the years, bread has been seen as the villain for those trying to lose weight.  It’s time to feel at ease around the faithful sandwich and start bringing it back into our nutritional plans.

Bread is often avoided because of its gluten content of which very few of us are intolerant to.  Another reason is because it is a carbohydrate. And, carbohydrates are often seen as the enemy. However, ‘carbs’ are integral to providing energy to our muscles as well as helping to protect our muscle mass from being broken down.

Bread can be a great addition to a healthy eating plan.  ‘Healthy eating’ is a phrase that has lost its significance. When I was taking my nutrition course, I was taught that the healthiest thing you can do is not carry excess weight.  I was told that the food choices we make are somewhat irrelevant as long as we don’t consistently over consume calories.

I am not saying to and eat ‘anything’ but the principle is true.  Calories are integral in managing our weight and the food choices we make are going to help with that.
