Does toasting bread add or reduce fat?

Question

Does it have any effect on the nutrition you get from bread at all?

Answer 1

Neither. Toasting is simply the slight burning of the surface of the bread. However as toast is dryer than untoasted bread the addition of butter or margarine drastically increases the fat content.

Answer 2

well it all looks good atm however if your a 130 pound man then you need the equivalent amount of protein for your body . this would be 2 grams per kilogram of weight so that roughly means you need about 117 grams of protein minimum to make a difference to both your muscle size and weight. Also when your drinking your milk be warned it is a dairy product and if it does have a lot of protein in it it also brings the added cost of a large amount of fat. Try semi-skimmed or the boxed long-life milk which and significantly has less fat in it and it goes great with the protein shakes. Just remember as-well that a chicken breast only contains about 7.5 grams of protein so try having two at a go or a tin of tuna which significantly increases the protein intake. One thing i have noticed two is you only have 1 scoop of protein at a go . I have watched my son over many years take shakes and he always takes one when he gets up , this is usually one scoop just because a few eggs accompany it. The after his workout he have a protein shake with two servings containing 45 grams of protein . The best time to have protein is after a workout because your muscles have been starved of protein throughout the workout therefore more protein will be used throughout the muscles. Then an hour before bed take another single scoop protein shake and have a banana with it. This will break down the protein release all night long so your muscles can repair all night long when much rest is needed. So overall you have had in my sons case 90 grams of protein from the shakes and the rest made up from low fat high protein foods. Oh and another thing try porridge in the morning it has a low glucemic index so will fill you for longer and provides slow release energy throughout the day. hope this gets you the effects you desire :D

Answer 3

Neither; no fat is lost by heating the bread. Do you ever see toast drip oil?

Answer 4

No, with the exception of the fact that it reduces moisture. I would assume that most people don't depend on bread to stay hydrated.

Answer 5

Removes moisture . . . what you do after toasting adds fat.

Answer 6

It does neither. The ingredients don't change, just the properties by which it is served.

Answer 7

Neither, unless you butter it.

Answer 8

No

Answer 9
