© FAB and AHDB 2013 The role of bread in a healthy and balanced diet Bread sits within the Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods group in the Eatwell plate. About one third of the food we eat should be from this group.

© FAB and AHDB 2013 The role of bread in the UK diet Bread is an important part of the traditional British diet. Potatoes and bread have been the main starchy foods in the traditional British diet for many years. Both bread and potatoes have been common staple foods in the diet and important sources of nutrients.
10
© FAB and AHDB 2013 The role of bread in the UK diet Bread was traditionally eaten at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is now more likely to be consumed at breakfast and lunch times, but not with evening meals. Bread is consumed by 33% of people who eat breakfast, making it a popular breakfast item (Gibson & Gunn 2011).
11
© FAB and AHDB 2013 How many slices of bread per day do people in the UK eat on average? 1 slice 2 ½ slices 4 ½ slices 7 slices ANSWER: On average, 2 ½ slices are eaten.
12
© FAB and AHDB 2013 How many slices of bread per day did people eat 70 years ago? 1 slice 2 ½ slices 4 ½ slices 7 slices ANSWER: Seventy years ago people ate on average 7 slices of bread per day.
13
© FAB and AHDB 2013 Bread intake in the UK In the 1940s (when national consumption was first measured), people consumed an average of 7 slices of bread per day. Today, the average intake of bread in the UK is 2 ½ slices. Why do you think bread intake decreased?
14
© FAB and AHDB 2013 Why has bread intake decreased? Bread (and potatoes) have declined at the expense of other starchy foods such as pasta, rice and other cereals. A larger variety of starchy foods is now available. People can chose from a large array of products including breakfast cereals, crumpets, bagels and croissants.
15
© FAB and AHDB 2013 Why has bread intake decreased? There has been a decline of the traditional British diet. More international dishes are now consumed, such as Italian or Asian dishes, which are typically based on pasta and rice. Misconceptions about bread can also lead to lower intakes. What myths about bread have you heard?
16
© FAB and AHDB 2013 Myth or fact? Eating starchy foods, such as bread, leads to weight gain. MYTH Bread commonly causes allergies and bloating. Bread can help with certain digestive problems because of its fibre content. MYTH FACT
17
© FAB and AHDB 2013 What happens if we eat less bread? People who avoid or cut down on bread risk reducing their intakes of the nutrients provided by bread. Avoiding bread and other starchy foods altogether can lead to low intakes of fibre and important nutrients, such as calcium and iron.
18
© FAB and AHDB 2013 Summary Bread is a starchy food. Starchy foods should make up one third of our diet. Bread contains a range of important nutrients. Bread is an important staple of the traditional British diet, but intakes are now much lower. Reducing bread intake, without replacing it with other starchy foods that contain similar nutrients, can lead to low intakes of fibre and important nutrients.
