Wheat Bread vs White Bread
In nature, wheat grains are brown because the bran (or outer layer) is brown. When the bran layer is intact, it contains the endosperm and the germ, though only the bran and germ have true nutritional benefit. To get white flour (and hence white bread), wheat grains are stripped of their bran and germ, leaving only the nutrient-poor endosperm.
WHY???
This chart below compares some of the nutrient values found in a slice of white bread and one of whole-wheat bread.

| Wheat bread |
Wheat bread has more fiber than white bread, which is why health nuts love it. Fiber is important to both cardiovascular (it lowers cholesterol) and gastrointestinal (it keeps things moving) health, and it serves to slow down digestion of the carbohydrates in wheat bread–imparting longer-lasting energy throughout the day, and throughout a workout. This is important to those who are concerned about maintaining steady insulin levels, as the slower the carbohydrates are digested, the more level the insulin response. White bread, on the other hand, is a fast-digesting carbohydrate, which causes insulin levels to spike–which, during nontraining times, causes energy levels to crash and leads to increased fat storage.
THE WINNER IS… Draw WHY???

| White Bread |
There are times in a day when a massive insulin spike is required to amplify muscle gains, and that's when wheat bread just won't do. We're sure you've realized that we're talking about postworkout nutrition. The fact is, a dollop of jelly on white bread is among the best ways to get fast carbs after a session cradling the iron. Lest you need reminding, insulin is an anabolic hormone; the more you have after tearing muscle apart, the more muscle you'll rebuild. A day's diet that includes a few slices of white bread is also extremely effective at refilling glycogen stores (and thereby rebooting your metabolism) after a week or so of low-carb dieting.
So, after workouts, white is right. At all other times of the day, you can't beat wheat. Just make sure the label says whole wheat, not multigrain or plain wheat, and that it contains whole-wheat flour (not enriched white flour).This chart below compares some of the nutrient values found in a slice of white bread and one of whole-wheat bread.

EAA + VITARGO = PACK ON MASS
EAA
The essential amino acids are those that your body cannot make on its own, so it's vital that you get them from food and supplements. Although it takes about 20 aminos to produce the majority of the proteins--such as muscle tissue--in your body, generally, the EAAs are comprised of eight aminos: lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, leucine, isoleucine and valine. The rest of the aminos are considered nonessential, because your body can make them itself. Some studies have found that taking EAAs prior to workouts increases protein synthesis afterward better than taking them when the workout is over.
VITARGO
Vitargo is a complex carb, but unlike most complex carbs, this bad boy is rapidly digesting ... about twice as fast as sugar, as research confirms. Due to its complex branching structure, this carb is about the fastest thing you can put into your body. This keeps insulin levels high during workouts, for maximizing muscle growth.
* Take It Like This To pack on mass, choose EAAs to sip on during your workout. Mix 10-20 grams of EAAs and 35 g of Vitargo in about 2 cups of water. Sip on this during your workout, being sure to consume it all by the last set
