First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
Granola | Whole grain bread |
Nutrient | granola | whole grain bread |
Protein | 6g | 10g |
Carbohydrate | 22g | 33g |
Fiber | 4g | 6g |
Fat | 10g | 3g |
Monounsat. Fat | 4g | 3g |
Polyunsat. Fat | 4g | 1g |
Saturated Fat | 2g | 1g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
Nutrient | granola | whole grain bread |
Choline | 5% | 5% |
Vitamin A | 0% | 0% |
Vitamin C | 1% | 0% |
Vitamin E | 38% | 2% |
Vitamin K | 4% | 1% |
Granola have significantly more Vitamins E than whole grain bread. Granola are a good source of Vitamin E, Thiamin, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Iron. Whole grain bread are a good source of Niacin, Phosphorus, Iron.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
Nutrient | granola | whole grain bread |
Vitamin B1 | 30% | 17% |
Vitamin B2 | 11% | 9% |
Vitamin B3 | 7% | 25% |
Vitamin B5 | 13% | 5% |
Vitamin B6 | 11% | 18% |
Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.

Sodium | 1% | 21% |
Potasium | 6% | 5% |
Calcium | 6% | 15% |
