Is toast better than bread?

Toast is always good - thankfully I don't have any bread in the house. Especially good with butter and marmite mixed and thinly spread.

Nope it's just like water to ice. Same content, different form

maybe you like the roof of your mouth all cut and bleeding from the toast?

Because after you toast it, are the calories "Burned" ?

Sounds legit.

Heating the bread causes a series of biochemical reactions between carbohydrates or sugars and amino acids, which are smaller units of proteins, on the surface of the bread. This changes the appearance of the bread, browning the surface of the toast, and causes a change in the flavor, because the chemical reaction creates new molecules on the surface of the bread through the Maillard reaction.

Unfortunately, toasting bread as part of a diet to cut carbohydrates will not be effective. The Maillard reaction does not significantly reduce the calories or carbohydrates in the slice of bread. The browning only takes place on the surface where the bread is placed next to the heating elements inside a toaster.

According to online nutrition information, a slice of untoasted wheat bread has 65 kcal while a toasted slice has 64.9 kcal. That is only a slight difference. Both the untoasted and toasted slice of bread have 11.8g carbohydrate, 2.3g protein and 1g total fat.

Long story short........No

Because after you toast it, are the calories "Burned" ?

The caloric reduction will probably be "measurable but insignificant" (like many other things that are discussed here on MFP).

I make my own bread and, when I use a bread mix, I need to track calories based on the weight of the dry mix in the bread that I've sliced. When I toast bread, it loses 10% if its mass due to toasting so I just multiply my pre-cooked weight by 0.9 to get the "dry weight" amount.

To address your question specifically - yes, there is a nutritional value to toasted bread that's missing in fresh bread.

I don't have the citation available (it would be great if "someone" followed up on this!) but a study was done in Germany (since 2000) that tested the nutritional value of toast vs fresh bread and they discovered that, by toasting, a certain substance that is believed to reduce the possibility of cancer in ≤insert name of laboratory animal here≥ is created that is absent in fresh bread.

I don't recall the amount of ≤name-of-substance≥ that was produced and, as best I recall, it was a substance that "might" have an impact on some type of cancer so I filed it in the "Yup, OK" folder.

You're GD right toast is better!
