I bought Nature's Own all natural double fiber wheat bread. The first ingredient is whole wheat flour, but then it has ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR . Is this okay? please someone help me.

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like it. Be sure to check ingredients before purchasing. :D

Also you need to check the fiber to be at least 3 grams per slice and the sugar to be less than 3 grams if any, per slice too.

Most of the weight of bread is grain/flour. A 1.5-ounce slice weighs about 45 grams. So what's the other 2/3 of the bread made of, if not whole grain?

It's a no-go-- a 45g slice of bread should have a lot more than 16g of whole grain. That indicates a pretty high percentage of white flour-- that's what "enriched wheat flour" is.

I was about to post almost exactly the same thing! Funny that we agreed, down to the 45g.
