The real secret of TGB bread seems to have been discovered. Despite the fact that they boast of being "the only bread that melts in your mouth", now it will not be necessary to go to a hamburger restaurant of this type to enjoy it at home.
Carrefour The pack of 4 units is already on sale for a price of 3'50 €. Taking into account that we can make our own hamburgers or fill it with whatever we want, it is a cheaper price than making a order in TGB. However, doubts arise as to whether this bread can be eaten without regret, or whether we should better avoid buying it.
Ingredients and nutritional value of TGB bread
Bread is dispensable in any diet, but it is true that a hamburger is orphaned if it is not covered with two slices of bread. Knowing that there are thousands of healthy breads (whole wheat, spelt, rye, oats), we are curious if TGB will have something healthy among its products.
In the list of bread ingredients we find: «Wheat flour, water, yeast, wheat sourdough, vegetable oil (sunflower), sugar, apple cider vinegar, whey powder, potato flour, butter, vegetable proteins, natural flavoring, preservatives, gluten, flour soy, dyes and dextrose«.
Regarding the nutritional value, for every 100 grams of product we obtain:
- Energy value: 307 kcal
- Fats: 4 grams
- Saturated: 1 grams
- Carbohydrates: 53 grams
- Sugars: 13 grams
- Protein: 12 grams
- Salt: 0 grams
- Sodium: 0 grams
Taking into account that each loaf weighs 73 grams, we will be consuming 224 calories from just bread. It is true that it has a high content of proteins (compared to the rest of the breads), but the contribution of added sugar exceeds the recommended daily amount. So it becomes an unrecommended option. It could be taken occasionally, as a treat, but not as a regular bread in the diet.
It must be taken into account that the hamburger will Red meat, sauce or melted cheese and a side of potatoes. We can easily reach around 800 calories in a single meal. So it is better to stay away from this delicious and sweet bread.
Are there healthier options as an alternative?
Although we all love to buy the products that we can consume in a fast food restaurant in the supermarket, it is not the healthiest option. As we have seen, the problem is not in the way the products are cooked, but rather that they start with components that are not recommended for regular consumption.
However, there are healthier options that can make us enjoy the burger. One of the most consumed is the type 100% integral Thins, since it only provides 99 calories in total. That is, more than half of TGB's bread. Any hamburger bun containing a higher amount of whole grain. They will not be low-calorie options, but they will be better nutritionally.
Of course, if we want to increase protein intake, it is recommended to use protein breads with less amount of carbohydrates. The main problem with these loaves is that they fall apart faster, but isn't the same the case with TGB's?
