Is eating bread going to totally kill my diet?

[Anonymous]

So I just started working at subway and because my rent is so expensive I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on healthy groceries. Everything I buy is healthy, but I just can't buy a lot of it. I have lost quite a bit of weight and started lifting a few weeks ago. Anyways the guys I work with are always always telling me to eat and I am allowed any free food I want while I work. This would be really helpful cuz I wouldn't have to use my food for lunch and since I go to the gym right after work I wouldn't have to worry about working out on an empty stomach. the problem is that I have not been eating any bread at all since I started losing weight, it really wasn't that hard to do. But will it totally kill me to eat a 6 inch wheat sandwhich with turkey or chicken and lots of veggies everyday? It would honestly save me loads of money. I usually eat some type of energy bar (belvita bars), boiled eggs, or greek yogurt for breakfast and for dinner I usually have some type of meat (shrimp, tuna, grilled chicken, tilapia, salmon) and black beans or quinoa and a veggie (almost always asparagus). maybe eating a sandwhich everyday will help me build some muscle in my behind lol? I am still trying to lose weight so anyone else who has lost weight while still eating bread everyday? I am doing very good, I mean damn those subway cookies are so tempting but i have grown into a very disciplined person and I dont want to ruin that by eating anything that could be considered a gateway food (as in make me crave other junk food).

Also if you like to order mayonaise at subway, be careful because apparently when they refill the mayonaise containers they usually refill it with whatever package of mayonaise is already opened, so that means if you ordered lite mayo there is a good chance you are getting regular mayo and vice versa.

Okay so reading bread isn't bad necessarily, if you lift weights, I think you said you do, you can have bread.

Carbs are healthy and should be in every diet, however if you eat carbs know the right time. After you're done lifting and cardio, or however you work out, that's when you should have bread or carb heavy food.
Since you tear your muscles when you lift (the reading and healing is wht creates strengths and size) your body needs easy calories and protein tonhelp rebuild the muscles. That's when bread and carbohydrates are important.
I'd suggest a ham sandwich or peanut butter toast after a work out because you want calories, carbs, and protein to rebuild muscles.

Good luck with your diet.

Haha I loved your comment on the subway mayo... I used to work at Subway myself, and did not quite enjoy it. Personally, I could not quite stand to eat at Subway while I worked there, but if I had been living primarily off my Subway income, I probably would rely more on those free 6 inches. I think you should be okay, however. I mean, Subway is truly not all that great for you, to be honest, but you gotta do your best with what you got! Good luck!

Bread are carbs, and you need them. If possible take brown bread, its more healthy. And taking carbs will prevent your body of muscle breakdown. Just make sure your carb intake is roughly your daily need and you will not develop fat.

you need carbs to work out and carbs are in bread. that's the first thing you burn through when you work out is the carbs. eating a healthy sand which everyday would not kill you because you will work it off

Eating brown bread can kill the cholesterol level as it is very high in fiber but white bread isn't going to work

Sandwich three days a week is ok... bread everyday is... hard on the stomach. Takes longer to digest.

Twhen I'm on a diet, I still eat whatever I want. Just less. It works

If the bread is 100% whole wheat it should be ok.
