    Low carb high fiber wraps. Look in the tortilla section. The ones I buy are $2.75 ish and only has 9 net Carbs. there is a brand with only 6 net Carbs but it runs for almost $5.

    You can also make falx meal pancakes and use them as bread.

    4 Tbsp bob redmill's flax meal
    1 whole egg
    1~2 Tbsp water

    Cook it like pancakes for few minutes and will only run you 0~2 net carbs

    You should worry about bread but not because of carbs ... Most bread is is very high in sugar and is related to many health problems such as Heart attacks and type 2 diabetes ... Whole Wheat,White doesn't matter .. Bread is not good for you

    Two things, one, replace bread with rum.

    Second, the correct, pc term is caucasian, or white. That's not a kind word there, boss. you might get stabbed in the south throwing that one around.

    I have yet to find a sub for bread. Especially with eggs.. I don't eat it often and when I do I stick with the Ezekiel brand or some other whole wheat version. I love all things with flour... Pasta, bread, wraps, tortillas, crackers, biscuits, muffins, pita chips, and cookies.

    What if you alternated days you had your eggs for another breakfast you could manage without the bread? Steel cut oats, apple slices with peanut butter, chia pudding or yogurt with nuts and fruit? This way you could have the bread less often. Though, I don't think it would do you much harm to include a slice of bread each day with your eggs.

    I love bread, so I vote keep it. They call it the staff of life for a reason!

    Here is my bread recipe. It takes about 5 minutes from start to finish including cook time! It's super fast and delicious! It has the texture of corn bread almost. I love to grill it or toast it before I use it for a sandwich. It only has 4 grams carbs per two slices. I eat it everyday..it's that good! I use it for breakfast sandwiches (eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese, mayo), club sandwiches (chicken breast, ham/bacon, turkey, cheese, onions, tomatoes, lettuce), grilled cheese sandwiches, BLTs...I use it for pretty much everything. I love it!

    Low Carb Bread

    10 1/2 tbsp almond flour
    3 1/2 tsp coconut flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    3 eggs
    4 1/2 tsp buttermilk
    1 1/2 tsp olive oil
    3 tbsp shredded Pepper Jack cheese
    1 tsp onion powder


    Spray an 8-inch square, glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In medium bowl, combine ground almonds, coconut flour, baking powder and onion powder. In small bowl, with fork, whisk eggs, buttermilk, and olive oil together. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle in cheese; mix everything together well until the mixture thickens slightly.

    Pour mixture into an 8x8 sprayed pan. Spread out evenly. Microwave on high 3 minutes (Your microwave might need different timing). Remove from microwave and immediately cut a cross in the bread, dividing it into 4 quadrants. Take each piece and flip it over to allow the undersides to dry out a bit. When cool, slice each piece in half horizontally so that you have 8 slices of bread. Place in the toaster and toast until nice and brown. Or grill on a counter top grill like a George Foreman for a nice texture before use. Store the rest in a zip lock bag in the fridge.

    What are you talking about, cracker bread ? They serve cracker breads in all types of delis, Its like a cracker thats why he can't use it to soup up his poached eggs. Some people also call it flat bread.

    Poached eggs are good on grits, or a corn tortilla.

    Rice cakes! I have put fried eggs on them, made ham/cheese/bbq sauce and PBJ for example. They have no flavor except salt, so they absorb the flavor of what you put on them, and are like a little plate you can eat.

    nothing at all. Bread is the best. Just eat in moderation and eat WW.

    For me, bread is too delicious to cut out completely. I make my own, sometimes with extra gluten! >:)
    All I know is that in Julius Caesar's time, the legions were given a choice between gruel or bread and they chose bread. That's an army travelling on that horrid substance.
    Hey, most of them would be dead soon anyway, right?

    Sounds boring. It's great to eat sensibly in moderation and still be a gourmet. :)

    I have not found a replacement for bread, but I am learning to enjoy shirataki noodles. The angelhair cut has the mildest flavor. I can find them made from either tofu or white yams. I use them in place of pasta. I try my best to follow the Paleo diet, and wild rice is acceptable, and I enjoy the texture and flavor. Best of Luck ! ! !
