Wheat Bread (Includes Wheat Berry) (1 Slice)

Choose a smaller portion of the wheat bread and avoid adding sweet spreads, honey, or jam.

Pair the bread with protein and healthy fat, such as egg, tofu, avocado, cheese, or unsweetened nut butter.

Add high-fiber, non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as spinach, tomato, cucumber, peppers, or leafy greens.

Prefer dense, minimally processed whole-grain or sourdough wheat bread with visible intact grains over soft, finely milled bread.

Eat the bread as part of a balanced meal rather than alone, and start the meal with vegetables or protein.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you.
