Does toasting bread change it`s nutritional value?

Does it?

google told me this:

Toasted bread has higher energy density (more calories in 1 oz.) so, theoretically, one can expect it'll give you more calories before you're full. Also, the difference can be in your preference: if you like fresh bread better, you'll eat more of it. That's about it, calorie wise.

does shitting in the toilet make you poop stink more?

Uhhh...
It has more calories per ounce because you're basically dehydrating bread.
Same as saying that a dried prune has a higher calorie content than a fresh prune..

All in all, I think if you're going to eat 2 slices of bread, toasted or not...should likely be the same...

[muskate]

it will dehydrate the bread a little.

it'll also increase fibre content a little by toasting the grains on the outsides as well as the edge...makes sense if you think about it. toasted bread is alot rougher then untoasted bread

I would have to take a shit somewhere else to compare. Any suggestions?

While not too significant, the nutritional composition of toasted bread is slightly different from untoasted bread’s in the following ways:

* Toasting bread lowers its glycemic index (the degree to which it can spike blood sugar). This is more pronounced in breads made with white flour.

* Toasting lowers the levels of two B vitamins (thiamin and folic acid) and the amino acid lysine. The longer the bread is toasted, the greater the loss of these nutrients. Since these nutrients are abundantly consumed in the standard U.S. diet — and bread has very low levels of lysine anyway — their slight loss via toasting is not worth worrying about.

The biggest misconception I have heard about toasted bread is that it contain less calories than untoasted bread. Untrue!

However, a slice of toast requires more chewing than an untoasted slice, which helps trigger satiety faster (thereby helping you achieve a feeling of full with a lower amount of calories).
