In general, a one-ounce slice of bread contains about 15 grams of carbohydrate (carb), which is called "one carb choice." Some breads are lower in carbs than others, so they may have about half as much carb as a regular slice. Always read the Nutrition Facts label for both the serving size and the amount of Total Carbohydrate.
