° Whole grain products provide the body with the trace elements it needs to utilize carbohydrates effectively. The body also burns approximately ¼ of the calories involved just to break down a whole grain product. Therefore, a piece of whole grain bread is approved to contain 120 calories. The label must say whole grain, not wheat flour, rye flour, etc.

Help yourself weight wise as well as health wise...eat whole grains.
