White flour, small amounts, refined cereals when included in the diet

Now, we hear from a lot of sources that the only right choice we should make is a whole-grain casserole and a whole grain bakery. Of course, we all agree with that opinion, but will that always be the right choice? But the most important factor we should be looking at when choosing them is actually their raw material composition. Anything less processed is better. Whether a carbohydrate product is attractive to the consumer is often influenced by texture, flavor and the quality of the ingredients used to make it.

1. Comparison of the baking composition of wheat and barley

The fact that carbohydrates are so important to us is obvious, but the question is whether the caloric content of wheat bread is significantly different from that of rye bread? By way of comparison, 100 grams of cereal bread provides 259 kcal. However, these types of baked goods differ in their content of fiber, vitamins (we call them group B) and ingredients such as phosphorus, sulfur, magnesium, and carbon dioxide.

2. For whom refined grain is a better choice

However, there are situations in which the use of highly purified products such as wheat bread or bread crumbs will act as a remedy, since dietary fiber, due to its ability to bind water and to bind digestion to water in an inadequate daily diet, may become obsolete and cause discomfort. Limiting the amount of fiber in the diet is particularly appropriate for people on a light diet. High fiber in low-processed products helps us, among other things, to maintain body weight or reduce it by weight, reduce the risk of developing heart disease and certain diseases of the digestive system.

3. Whether athletes can use refined grain

The fact that refined cereals have a lower nutritional value or a lower fiber content is not a problem for athletes. However, because of the low fiber content, wheat baking is a faster digestive process, which is sometimes an advantage for an athlete. In this case, if we only operate with whole grains, it is very easy to exceed the recommended amount of fiber, which can exacerbate the deficiency of the fiber. This does not, of course, mean that competitors should rely solely on high-processing products.
