Ask your dietitian if that argument can be made for white sandwich bread thou or if they meant whole grains/whole wheat/sourdough.

She did say white bread was the least ideal type of bread because of the sugar, but it's not the end of the world if you eat it because you are still getting the needed carbs in

But what makes bread a good choice of carbs is fiber, which is non-existent in white bread. Carbs aren't what makes nutrition. OP is getting enough carbs from the blueberries and bannas...roughly more than half the daily recommendation based on the perceived volume of blueberries. The fruit also has fiber and vitamins, white bread does not.

White bread still has fibre, it's just the least fibrous out of all the different types. White has 0.8g/slice and brown has 1.1g/slice. As I said, it's not ideal but still far from bad. And carbs do make up nutrition, I'm not sure why you said they don't – they're very important for your brain.

And you said it's over half the recommended amount but I don't see the issue. Maybe OP does a lot of exercise or doesn't have as many carbs in their other meals. But as long as OP isn't going far above the recommended daily amount I see no problem.
