White, gluten, rye, whole wheat, etc., practically same caloric value per same weight.  There is so little difference between the caloric value of gluten bread and other breads that it is not necessary for reducing to try to get it. (Toasted bread has the same caloric value that it had before toasting.  It is more easily digested, but just as fattening.  Advised, however, because it makes you chew.)
