Alternative to bread?

I eat bread on a daily basis, which is totally fine. I plan on continuing to eat it...but I can't eat with everything unfortunately.

What other things do you guys eat snacks with (i.e hummus, cheese, honey, etc)?

    Kashi whole grain crackers! They make a lot of different flavored varieties as well (sea salt, veggie, garlic pesto).

    Pita bread, rice cakes.

    I think OP is looking for alternatives to bread as a snack accompaniment so he/she can cut back.

    If I were you, I'd eat veggies with hummus; veggies and/or fruit with cheese; cheese and/or fruit with honey. Honey also goes well with greek yogurt, I understand.

    Cheese would also go well with jerky or deli meats.
  • Ezekiel Bread...its flourless organic sprouted wheat, barley, millet, lentils, soybeans, and spelt
    Can be found in the frozen organic section.
    Because it's all natural it's best to keep it frozen

    Pita bread. They are huge, more filling then bread for me. The other day I put spicy egg salad in one and rolled it up. The ones I got are only 140 cal each.

    Instead of a sandwich make something like ham and cheese rollups.
    Use lettuce as the way to hold bread.

    I have zero problems eating hummus or cheese alone.

    Zero.

    Zero.

    Me neither, just give me a spoon for the hummus.

    Tortilla chips go really well with hummus or cheese, too.

    What about the sandwich thins they are only 100 calories, I believe.

    hummus

    Veggies
    cheese

    On its own. I don't drink wine anymore, but that's good too. Also excellent in an omelet, depending on the type of cheese.
    honey

    Tea? Or really just bread. I mostly just use honey as an ingredient, though.

    I'm with everyone who said fruits and veggies. Pretzels also make a good dipping choice for hummus, as do carrots and green bell peppers. I eat a lot of mozzarella string cheese so I don't need anything with it but it is delicious with carrots (a staple food for me), avocados, apples, oranges, basically anything really lol.

    This looks so sad :neutral_face: Might as well just use real tortillas since they really aren't even that high calorie.

    *wipes the drool!* LETTUCE...I LOVE YOU!!!

    Whole Wheat Tortillas or Spinach Tortillas. I'm not a big bread eater (have been know to throw the bun and eat just the patty) but I have carrots and hummus quite often as a snack at work. And I just made homemade Roasted Red Pepper Hummus last night and it's quite delish!

    Google Tai Beef Lettuce Wraps...those are yummo!

    Those lettuce wraps look lush. Instead of bread (for a snack) try rice cakes or oat cakes. Both really tasty.
