1. Home Pride Butter Top Wheat (56 g, 2 slices)

140 calories, 2 g fat (0 g saturated), 2 g fiber

This "wheat" bread is an imposter. The first ingredient is enriched flour, which is a euphemism for wheat flour stripped of most of its nutrients.

2. Nature's Pride 12 Grain (86 g, 2 slices)

220 calories, 4 g fat (0 g saturated), 4 g fiber

The wheat is whole grain, sure. Too bad the other 11 grains aren't. You'd need twice as much fiber to justify these calories.

3. Arnold Whole Grains Health Nut (86 g, 2 slices)

240 calories, 4 g fat (0 g saturated), 4 g fiber

The second ingredient is the same white flour you'd find in a slice of Wonder Classic White bread.

4. Sara Lee Hearty & Delicious 100% Whole Wheat (86 g, 2 slices)

240 calories, 3 g fat (1 g saturated), 6 g fiber

The fiber's commendable, but these slices are way too calorie dense to qualify as pantry staples.

5. Oroweat Whole Grains 7 Grain (76 g, 2 slices)

180 calories, 2 g fat (0 g saturated), 4 g fiber

Sure this bread contains seven grains, but refined flour is still one of its major constituents.

6. Wonder Made with Whole Grain White (57 g, 2 slices)

140 calories, 2 g fat (0.5 g saturated), 3 g fiber

Compared to the same variety of bread made by Nature's Own, this loaf has more sugar, more sodium, and less fiber.

7. Sara Lee Honey Wheat (57 g, 2 slices)

150 calories, 1.5 g fat (0.5 g saturated), 2 g fiber

Most breads are made from a form of wheat, but unless it says "whole," you're paying for stripped-down grains with little fiber and miniscule amounts of micronutrients.
