Brown rice and whole meal wheat bread have almost the same glycaemic index. The more processed the grain, the worse it is for the body. On this logic, if the brown rice is organic unpolished, it will be the superior choice.If the bread is whole grain ground with no additives or processing, then it will be also good.
However, factories are still over processing flour, and commercially made bread have any number of chemicals added to make it fluffy, taste good and keep well. Therefore, I personally would favour rice.
Bread on its own will flood sugar faster than rice. However, to keep sugar on an even keel, always balance carbs with protein. Protein slows the sugar uptake. Rice has higher satiety compared to bread, by the way. Wheat flour has gluten, which is bad news for gluten intolerant sufferers. Flour is also pro-inflammatory, meaning it creates inflammation at cellular level.
The latest research always ask us to avoid wheat based products on account of this.
A good thing will happen when you stop eating bread, you will lose weight!
