Omelette and whole wheat bread make a popular breakfast meal. But when it comes to its health benefits, there is still room for improvement. Toasted whole wheat bread has a medium-high glycaemic index, which leads to a spike in sugar levels and, ultimately, hyperglycaemia. Eggs, on the other hand, are rich in protein and other nutrients, making them a source of health. So, it is necessary to develop a better approach to eating omelettes and bread.
Make your egg omelette and whole wheat bread toast even better
• You may use bread made with low-carb flour like almond or seed-based flour instead of whole wheat.
• Consider eating the salad first, then eggs that provide protein, followed by minimal low-carb bread. This will help you maintain your food flow.
• Try adding healthy fats like cheese to the plate to stabilize glucose spikes.
Most commercial brands sell whole wheat bread made of refined flour, mainly maida, with added brown colour and little fibre. This gets quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, spiking blood sugar levels. Thus, it is necessary to watch your bread type and consumption.
