Default Multigrain vs. whole wheat bread

I find I can control my weight better whenb I keep my carb intake
within reasonable limits.

Lately I have been enjoying the flavor and texture of multigrain bread,
but have begun to wonder whether it is really good for me in the
low-carb context, or even whether it fits in as a low-glycemic
substitute for whole wheat bread.

Does anyone know anything about how these breads differ?

Read the label, if the carbs fit into your limit you can have some though I
wouldn't advise having them constantly, only for an occasional sandwich.
There are some flatbreads that are much better in carbs and ingredients that
made fine sandwiches.

Go to USDA National Nutrient Database
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/
Do this with 2 separate browser tabs so that you can compare whole wheat
bread with wheat bread.

For "Keyword(s)": enter "bread"
For Select Food Group: choose "Baked Products"
Then, using separate browser tabs, choose whole wheat in one, and wheat
in the other.
You'll see that there are about 6 grams more carbs in wheat bread than
in whole wheat bread. You'll also see that whole wheat has much more in
vitamins and minerals, except for the half dozen vitamins and minerals
that bakeries are obliged by law to add. Over all, bread isn't low card,
but it is the carb total at the end of the day that counts. No foul, no
penalty.

It depends on the brand and the size of their slices, you're much better off
reading the label. Different recipes.

FlatOut is one that comes in different flavors. There are tortillas
which are low carb as well. These generally sell at a premium price.

I agree. And for purposes of carb control, the net carb counts from
the labels are what you want to compare.

Thanks, Jim.
It looks like corn tortillas in general are good for low carbs. Local
ones are 25 g/2. Their low carb tortillas, at 3 g. carbs each, have the
right numbers, but gastronomically, they compete with cardboard in taste.

Maybe you don't have a grocery store with a lot of breadth of product.

There are WHITE low carb tortillas and brown ones and some other colors.
Mission might be the brand name.... I never remember it but recognize
the stuff when I see it. They are usually expensive compared to the
regular high carb wheat and corn standard tortillas.

There is also "La Tortilla Factory" which has a line of flavored low
carb tortillas.

A long time ago, I briefly ate Corn Tortillas, partly because of low
sodium content. They were filling, but not tasty.

The stuff I am recommending to you is tasty and has pretty good texture.
The only times I found them cheaply were when WalMart carried them in
the Deli department, but after the remodeling of the stores, they
dropped two tasty lines of low carb and filled up the void with Mission
brand stuff.

You may have to look in more places to find the good stuff, but it is
around. Maybe, for some reason, not where you live, or else you haven't
looked in the right places. In some stores (Schnucks chain) the "La
Tortilla Factory" products are on the shelves near the artificial
sweeteners. No where near the run of the mill Hispanic products. And not
all tortillas are carried in the Hispanic section either. You gotta walk
all over the stores sometimes because they probably don't stock the
shelves in the way you think they should.

You can do a Google search for this stuff, for yourself, to better
determine your alternatives. Then, you can take your list and ask the
store to tell you what they stock and where. You can call the stores
and ask, if you want to save driving around.

I'm out of suggestions.
