Is brown bread good for a gym diet?
It has some protein (4.9 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 (68%), then protein (20%) and fat (13%).
A gym meal usually aims for 25 g of protein or more, depending on your daily target. From this alone, that's 7 slices (about 510 calories). The same 25 g from soya chunks is about 170 calories.
