Hi guys,
I have a problem and would like to know what people think about it. I am currently a college student living oncampus. The food here is really bad. I usually try to get like tuna, vegi sandwitch on whole wheat because thats the only thing healthy i can see. I was wandering if i am cutting would the whole wheat bread i eat be a huge factor?

Thanks a lot guys :)
 
huge factor, no. small factor, no again. :)
 
believereyes, this same question was asked to alan aragon. he's a nutritionist, has numerous credentials and works with pre-contest bodybuilders

someone asked

my trainer said that I shoud avoid bread while i'm cutting. is this true? bread should be avoided alltogher? he said if i must eat rye bread.

and he posted

you can't look at a single food as being the culprit for your love handles spilling over your buttocks. it's overall caloric balance, and the right composition of macro (& micronutrients) + your training + your recovery that will determine whether you end up looking god-like, or rosie o'donell-like. there are people in cambodia & ethiopia who eat nothing but bread & water - obviously insufficient amounts, & those dudes are cut to death, literally. i have a personal vendetta against uninformed practitioners in this industry who tell people to avoid this or that food without giving them the accurate reasons or the complete facts.

if you're still not sure, he posts on bodybuilding.com. send him a message and you'll get a response plus the facts to back it up :)
 
I'm with LV on this one, simply because bread has some sugar in it preservatives, etc...whole wheat bread is still quite processed and low in fiber, especially the junk they'd serve in a college cafeteria. I would opt for steamed brown rice, which is barely processed, and could be made in your dorm room and kept all week in the fridge. A bag of rice runs under $1 here and lasts me and my wife a good 5 days.

But by the same token, ti really boils down to your entire food intake...total calories, macros, micros. However I feel people who react more to starchy carbs (carb sensitive...insulin resistant, call it waht you will) would lose more weight on the rice vs. the wheat bread due to the lower GI of the brown rice.
