When it comes to sandwiches, I have been opting for whole wheat pita these days instead of whole wheat bread. It has been an interesting change of pace and I thought maybe fewer calories as well. Rather than assuming pita was better nutritionally for me than whole wheat bread, I decided to compare them side by side. To see which whole wheat bread type is the victor, just read more. 1 slice pita bread Trader Joe’s 1 slice bread Milton’s Calories 130 110 Total Fat (g) 0 0.5 Saturated Fat (g) 0 0 Carbs (g) 26 22 Fiber (g) 4 5 Protein (g) 5 5 Sugar (g) 1 4 Sodium (mg) 200 220 I know bread products vary nutritionally from brand to brand, but these are the two types of whole wheat breads we typically have on hand. Calorically speaking, I only use

one slice of pita rather than two slices of regular sliced bread, so pita is certainly lower in calories. Two pieces of Milton’s sliced bread provide 10 grams of fiber; however, this is unusual since most sliced whole wheat bread contains only two to three grams of fiber per slice. Looking at these stats, I feel OK mixing it up between these two brands and types of bread. Take a look below at the ingredients.
