Bread is a staple of most Western diets. Many people eat it for both breakfast (toast) and lunch (sandwiches), consuming on average 3-4 slices per day. That’s 21-28 slices per week.
Your average slice of white bread contains anywhere between 80-110 calories per slice, depending on brand and thickness. Now, switching from regular processed white bread to regular processed wholemeal bread won’t actually make much of a difference to your calorie intake. The calorie, fat, protein, carbohydrate and fibre content, for many brands, is basically the same.
Even assuming the lower end of our numbers, 21 slices of 80 calorie bread per week = 1,680 calories. And it could be as much as 28 slices of 110 calorie (i.e., very thick) bread, which equates to 3,080 calories, or a staggering 13,200 per month.
However, if you switch from standard sliced bread to either Nimble Wholemeal (or white) or Warburtons Medium Wholemeal (400g) each slice you eat drops down to 48 and 55 calories respectively (as well as making significant savings in carbs and fat).
This translates to 21 slices of 48 calories, or 1,008 calories per week, or 28 slices of 55 calories, which is 1,540 calories per week, or 6,600 per month.
Total Possible Saving Per Month: 6,600 calories.
