How many carbs are in a regular 6 slice loaf of bread?
Hello! I'm the owner of Fusubon. I often get asked by customers, "How much sugar is in regular bread?" so I'd like to share the answer here.
Carbohydrate content of bread and various types of bread
Types of bread and approximate weight per serving | Sugar content |
60g bread (1 slice cut into 6 slices) | 26.8g |
30g French bread (1 slice) | 16.4g |
30g rye bread (1 slice, 1cm thick) | 14.1g |
Bread roll 50g (1 piece) | 21.0g |
Croissant 30g (1 piece) | 12.0g |
Naan 80g (1 piece) | 36.5g |
The table above shows the carbohydrate content of some commonly seen breads.
Many people in the Kansai region eat four thick slices of bread, so rather than remembering this carbohydrate amount as an absolute value, you can be sure that about half of the total weight of regular bread is carbohydrates.
Rye bread contains bran, so it causes a slower rise in blood sugar levels, but the amount of carbohydrates it contains is not much different from regular bread.
In a broad sense, the guideline for carbohydrate restriction is 130g or less per day, with 40g x 3 meals plus 10g of carbohydrates for dessert, so if you eat one six-slice bread, you will be consuming about 2/3 of the carbohydrates you should consume in a meal.
Also, people who are restricting their carbohydrate intake to 20g or less per meal cannot even eat one piece of regular bread.
