Bread

Is any bread for a active athlete a complete no-no, when trying to get more cut and definded?

I'm talking the more healthy grain breads in the lower fat variety. Thoughts?

a lot of bbders dont do bread but if you do the best is vogels

Nothing wrong with bread, just fit it in your macros.

I'd do with brown or vogels though, white digests too quickly (makes you hungry quicker)

I don't see the issue with bread as long as you get a good quality bread with lots of grains and minimal processed non-sense. I think why alot of BBers steer clear of it during contest prep is because since you are limited in how much you can eat, you ideally would get your sources of carbs from the highest quality possible, containing alot of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Something to be conscious of when choosing a bread is not only carb content but also protein content which is why sources like potato, yam and rice tends to be the carb of choice during contest prep because they have a lower protein (and possibly fat but not sure).

People want to believe in IIFYM but they forget about long term health. Regardless of what your pursuits are in sport or life in general, longevity should be number one!
