Ah, so you're talking about your recommended daily intake, yeah?

Well, the Hovis site says that your recommend fat intake is 70g per day. 40% of that is 28g. To consume this quantity of fat in bread in one day would require you to eat in excess of 1Kg of bread.

Now, how many people do you think routinely eat that much bread?

A loaf of bread is 800g, you need to eat around 280g to hit 20-40% GDA depending on the fat content, which is 6-8 slices.

It's like standing in front of a freight train carrying 80 tonnes of stupid.

Using your own quoted 30 slices in a loaf wouldn't it be more like 10-11 slices?

And so 20+ slices for 40% of your GDA (just using your numbers)

Has it clicked yet? Or are you going to carry on.

280g of hovis wholemeal is 604kcal. That's 25% of your RDA. If you just ate bread to keep up with your RDA of calories, you're not going to hit your RDA of fat are you?

20%-40% of recommend fat intake would be 5.6g-11.2g. This would take approximately 200g-400g of bread, or about a quarter to a half of a loaf of bread.

Not many people eat that much bread, and even if they do, WHO CARES, THAT'S WITHIN YOUR GDA.

You're recommended intake of fat is what, 90g from food? I'm guessing here, bare with me, as although I'm a genuine nutritionist I'm no expert

So, if you're eating a diet of bread, which is 2.7% fat, how much bread would one have to consume to go over the limit?

Over 3.3kg, roughly 75 slices. By which time, you would have consumed ~1.2kg of carbs and ~6825kcal.

So, based on those sums, can you just take us through your logic again?

2.7 per slice each slice is around 30/45G, the GDA is based on the slice not the whole loaf.

I'm going to close this before we get any more unbelievable stupidity.
