Dietitian's Tips for Consuming French Bread

  • Metabolic Effect: Due to its high carbohydrate content, it raises blood sugar quickly. Because it has a low fiber content, the feeling of fullness is short and it can cause you to get hungry quickly.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Consuming it with healthy fats and proteins such as cheese, olive paste, or avocado helps balance blood sugar. It can also be consumed by making sandwiches with vegetables.
  • Things to Consider: One medium-sized slice of French bread is equivalent to approximately 2 slices of normal bread. It is especially important for those who want to control their weight to pay attention to their portions.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one slice of French bread, you need to walk for about 25 minutes. Alternatively, a 15-minute brisk run can help you burn the same amount of calories.
