In the old days, in every canteen you could find signs saying that bread should be saved.

However, some interpreted the saying, which primarily instilled respect for the work of others, in their own way and did not sit at the table until bread appeared on it.

Modern doctors do not in any way diminish the role of bread in the diet, but advise a sensible approach to its consumption.

You may come across recommendations to exclude bread from your diet in order to reduce the calorie content of your diet.

But this is an extreme measure and it will be quite sufficient to simply adhere to the consumption norm.

How much bread can you eat

There should be a measure in everything, and bread is no exception.

A person must consume a certain amount of carbohydrates per day.

To calculate this norm, you need to take the following formula as a basis: 2-4 grams for every kilogram of body weight.

As a result, for women this will be 150-200 grams, and for men 200-300 grams of carbohydrates per day.

Based on the need to consume fruits containing simple carbohydrates, as well as cereals and other products containing carbohydrates in their composition, the share of carbohydrates from bread remains about 100-150 grams for women and 150-200 grams for men, Professor Anatoly Skalny told the publication livekuban.ru.

When losing weight, this norm decreases, but for a healthy person leading an active lifestyle, it is enough to eat about three slices of bread per day.
