One slice of whole-wheat bread (about 43 g) provides roughly 110 calories and 2 g of fiber, per USDA FoodData Central. White bread is similar in calories but lower in fiber. Whole-grain bread keeps you fuller and adds more nutrients. "Multigrain" isn’t the same as "whole grain" — check the first ingredient. Bread is energy-dense; measure sandwiches by slices and pair with protein (egg, turkey, hummus) for balance.

Key facts:

  • 1 slice whole-wheat: ~110 kcal
  • Fiber: ~2 g (white less)
  • Whole grain > multigrain label
