Is bread good for a gym diet?
It has some protein (3.4 g per 100 calories), but not enough to lean on. Pair it with dal, tofu or soya chunks to fill the gap.
Most of its calories come from carbs (75%), then protein (14%) and fat (11%).
A gym meal usually aims for 25 g of protein or more, depending on your daily target. From this alone, that's 11 slices (about 720 calories). The same 25 g from soya chunks is about 170 calories.
