Wholegrain is better for you as it contains grains which are slow releasing carbs. These release energy slowly and give you the feeling of being fuller for longer. They also give you other nutritional value.
wholemeal is made from brown flour, whole grain is made from grains as well. whole grain is better for you. toasting does not make a difference to the calorie or fat content of anything,
whole grains take a longer time to digest meaning you feel fuller for longer.
Wholemeal Bread made from wholemeal flour has none of the bran or germ removed.
I dont think it makes any difference if you toast it.
unless its burns, its just as healthy
Bread cannot be made from whole grains only. All you would get is a great knobbly lump which could not be chewed or digested even if you were able to swallow it. Whole grain bread is bread made from whole wheat flour and at some stage has a handful or a measured weight of whole grains mixed in to give it the country roughage look. Wholemeal flour is made using the whole grain including the bran from the grain. This makes it brown and of a slightly rougher texture. White flour does not use the bran and is more refined at manufacture.
Happy new year to you.
wholegrain is better than wholemeal because it is low in fat and also allows you to feel fuller for longer because wholegrain breaks down slowly. toasting doesnt do anything to the fat content, unless your talking about spreading over it "after" toasting, which does.
