Common Questions and Answers about Nutritional value whole wheat bread

EAS makes a great pre- made low carb protein shake, Walmart carries it. I normally eat about 1500 calories. Here is my daily diet:
2 eggs and I piece of whole wheat or rye bread with 1 tbsp all natural peanut butter
snack: low carb protein shake and Fiber Plus brand fiber bar
lunch: flavored tuna, chicken with salad, or sandwhich with some kind of meat, 1 piece of fruit (apple or serving of grapes), and 2 little pieces of candy, normally some kind of Reese's!
If you are still using white bread try switching to wheat, spelt, rye bread etc.
Whole wheat bread is wheat that is not milled as much so it contains the wheat fibers (that is why it is darker in color) as opposed to white bread. Soft wheat does not have much fiber as whole wheat bread. Multi-grain and whole grain breads have added grains/seeds, such as oatmeal, and sesame seeds. The label will list the additional 'grains'.
The turtle may eat the chocolate but it has no nutritional value. So whether he eats chocolate or nothing, he can still starve to death. Just like feeding bread to ducks. Not good.
You didn't mention what type of turtle you had or how old it is. The chocolate has to stop. And if need be, take him to a vet for supplemental feedings until his digestive track is back to normal and he's on normal food again.
Harvard Medical School--
So eating whole wheat is not necessarily doing much for
diabetes, but I guess the other changes he implemented, made the difference you mentioned.
Now the question is, since he has a metabolic dysfunction, did the continued consumption of carbs lead to candida(a yeast overgrowth infection), did he have it before and if he did it perhaps predispose him to a parasitic infection?
This includes starches like potatoes. Think about switching to breads made with whole grains, like wheat breads using whole wheat flour, not those using enriched flour. Enriched means they remove all the beneficial nutrients and replace them with junk to make the product taste good. This is where diabetes trained nutritionists and dietitians are beneficial.
Supplements to help you gain weight can be more expensive than the equivalent macronutrients found in whole foods. Relying on nutritional supplements and not whole foods could deny you vital nutrients the supplements lack. Weight-gain supplements might contain impurities that could harm your health.
With a high metabolism, nutrition by itself can add pounds to your body but might not result in the body composition you would like unless you do a strength-training program also.
During the week it has been a whole-wheat (100% whole grain) bagel for breakfast, peanut-butter+bread for lunch, a bananna later in the day and at night I typically have a large bowl of oatmeal (rolled 5minute non-fortified oats).
During the weekend it has been a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and lunch and typically beans for dinner.
As gross as this might sound, I do occasionally add some mustard greens and/or salsa which I to the dinner-oatmeal or the beans.
That's a starvation diet that has no nutritional value whatsoever. It makes no sense and I'd never condone it.
You need to get calories from nutritious foods!
Add small meals or large snacks in-between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eat appetizers and desserts, too, when you can. Don't fill up on liquids, especially those with few or no calories. Drink after you've eaten. Drink 100 percent fruit juice, which offers calories and nutritional value, rather than sugary sodas or sports drinks. Replace a serving or two of whole fruit with fruit juice, as it contains many more calories.
