If it’s still not the day of the traditional office Christmas lunch and you’re only grabbing a sandwich on the go, make sure you opt for the whole grain bread option. Runners need at least three to six one-ounce servings of whole grains per day.
Eating 100 percent whole-grain bread (not just whole-grain bread which may contain some refined grains and flours) is a perfect way to meet this requirement as one slice equals one serving. Whole-grain bread may also help weight-conscious runners. One study has shown that women who eat whole-grain bread weigh less than those who eat refined white bread and other grains. All in all a perfect lunch-time companion!
