I agree with you. I never said bread was fattening. I never said you couldn't eat bread and lose weight. I said that bread converts to a sugar and ]TOO MUCH sugar can have adverse affects on your efforts. Some guy said "you are incorrect". I simply proved that bread is sugar. And that obviously too much sugar can make you gain. That is all. I eat bread, but not 7 peices. I eat candy, but not a lb. All things in moderation.I am right: Here is info on whole grain breads: SUGAR! SUGAR! SUGAR!
The complex carbohydrates in whole-grain breads cannot be immediately used by your body. Amylase, an enzyme produced by your saliva glands and pancreas, is necessary for breaking down these carbohydrates, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Stomach acids in your digestive system continue the process of breaking down carbohydrates for digestion. As carbohydrates are digested, they convert into glucose molecules, which are released into your bloodstream.

The point still comes down to eating in a caloric deficit and if you are then consuming bread (as long as you are staying in a deficit) as no chance of making you fat.... Some will argue the nutritional value of bread (me not being one of them) but I for one have eaten no less than 2 loafs of bread and a bag of bagel thins every week for the past going on 4 years and it has not hampered my weight loss one bit...
I don't agree that 1500 in bread is the same as 1500 in brocolli. Because you have to factor in the carbs and the sugar. Those latter two are extra fat in the body. That is a no brainer.0 -
Like I said, what you put into your body affects how many calories you burn. The second, and more important thing to consider is how insulin shuts off the fat burning hormones. This results in skinny- at, or just regular fat0

Livestrong is a terrible source to use.
How does this address the fact that carbs will make you fat in a caloric deficit? Glucose =/= making you fat.
ETA: veggies are carbs.0 -

Sorry, but I can't award you any points for this answer. The body breaks virtually everything down into glucose/sugar. Because that's is preferred fuel source. Veggies don't get converted into fats or proteins either0 -

Buddy, I don't know what to tell you. You might be barking up the wrong tree. I am not a nutritionist. I only know a bit about bread (the topic). All I know is that I can eat a piece a day and still lose. I don't know much more than that. I take everything in moderation. Too much of anything will make you fat. Bread for one. And it is easy to eat too much bread bc it is a lot more calories a slice than brocolli is a cup. It looks like you are doing fine based on your pictures. Just eat bread as you see works for YOU.I am right: Here is info on whole grain breads: SUGAR! SUGAR! SUGAR!

Yes bread is fattening. Bread can be more fattening than fat if you eat too much of it. Some breads are worse than others but flour and wheat products aren't the best for out bodies. Yes you can have it in moderation but its best to get most of your carbs from veggies. I try to keep my carbs at 100g per day, no more than 150. As long as you maintain your caloric goals you should lose weight regardless of what you eat but I would do some research into the glycemic index to get a better understanding of how bread makes you fat.
If you only eat the bread, then yes the GI may be of some significance. However, if you have a whole meal with grilled chicken, quinoa, veggies, and a dinner roll, then the average of the meal on the GI is not that big of a deal.0 -

I said that bread converts to a sugar and that too much can make you gain. A guy said I am wrong. I found a website which said that bread converts to a sugar. Thus I am right.

The place I found the info on "bread converting to sugar" was on Transformation. I only pulled Livestrong as one example here. It is NOT debatable that bread converts to a sugar in the body.

SO you basically answered your own statement.... Bread is broken down into glucose (sugar) but this just like your wine and chocolate will not make you gain if you are eating it in a calorie deficit (in moderation as you say) so unless I am missing something then what we have been saying all along holds true.... Bread is not fattening if eaten in a calorie deficit,,,,,0 -

Maybe Eddavenport can help you understand. I have run out of ways of explaining it. He did a fantastic job of summing it up. My point is just the what he said.

Not sure where they said that - maybe if you had quoted that your point would have been easier to determine.
I understand Ed;s point - in that you answered your own question now that you confirmed that.0 -
It's pretty simple.
Eat less than you burn - lose weight
Eat less processed and high GI foods - lose fat
Eat less calories while eating a high GI diet - lose muscle, gain fat
If you want to lose weight, eat whatever you want. If you want to look good, reduce the sugar.0 -

You lose muscle and gain fat in a caloric deficit because of high GI food? Rly?0 -

And I ask again, in a calorie deficit, what happens to this fat? Are you saying that I will start metabolizing muscle even though I'm strength training?0 -
