Which is better to control blood sugar?
Toast (especially if white bread) quickly breaks into glucose, which increases blood sugar. Eggs help slowly slow down this growth through fat and protein, which delays the stomach emptying. White toast declines after spike in glucose and if it is of whole grain or yeast, the spike is very slow and more stable.
