    The kind that fits into my eating plan for that day, which is why it's so rare for me. I'd rather eat a high volume of food than a calorie dense food. But if you like it, need it, want it, just make it fit into your plan. Nothing is off-limits!

    Prefer whole grain with more than 3 grams fiber per slice. However, I sometimes have sourdough cracked wheat with less than 1 gram of fiber per slice. Love that sourdough taste!

    I like Sara Lee's 45 calories a slice.

    Is there a Safeway near you, because their store brand wheat, which is a couple of bucks cheaper than the Sara Lee 45 they sell, is 90 calories per serving. But a serving is two slices rather than one. A friend of mine noticed this. I don't know about the other specs, like sugar and sodium though. I have been eating Milton's Whole Grain Plus. 90 calories per slice. Mostly because I shop at Trader Joes, but it is super yummy. So far it is working out fine. I am managing to lose eating it several times per week, sometimes more than once per day.

    I make my own bread using hi protein flour, yeast, salt, extra virgin olive oil and water. Delicious and much higher in protein than commercially available bread unless you pay a huge premium!

    I like one called Bimbo bread, it's at Wal Mart. 60 calories a slice. But then again, I pretty much love all bread except for rye.
  • I don't care what the name brand is.....just as long as the the ingredient is 100% Whole Wheat.

    If I'm eating bread, I prefer Ezekiel Bread (http://www.foodforlife.com/product/breads/ezekiel-49-sprouted-whole-grain-bread). I especially LOVE making french toast with it.

    Arnold's Nature's Harvest light multigrain sliced (40 cal/slice), multigrain or honey wheat round flat sandwich rolls (100 cal), multigrain pocket breads (100 cal for 1/2 one), thomas' light english muffins (100 cal), Fiber one 80 cal tortillas. Those are all in my current rotation, will use to make sandwiches/wraps, or sometimes the bread or english muffin are with an egg in the morning.
    Diabetic, so I have to be careful to not "overcarb" at any one time. Low calorie, high fiber options allow me to eat quantity that won't kill that goal.

    The kind I eat depends on what is going with it:
    This week I made pretzel rolls
    Some days I want potato rolls or white bread for pb & j
    Italian bread, sourdough, I enjoy pitas, ... I just plan my day and eat whatever kind I want

    Whatever is available and appealing at the moment.

    ^^This. We have a loaf of whole wheat this week at home. Last week was local bakery white bread (SOOO delicious). Next week may be something different.

    I don't eat bread anymore since it's a highly difficult food for me. :s I find that it doesn't fill me up and makes me crave.. bad stuff lol. Lots of calories without filling me up at all and making me crave stuff - no thankyou (I love bread though.. I'll have some on my cheat meals huehuehue). :s:# (*)
  • Don't concern yourself with calories with bread get a good wholegrain bread it should feel heavy the benefits and fiber will keep you full.
  • I think the best bread are those that aren't stale or moldy. Otherwise if I have a choice, banana bread with cherries in and butter. :P

    Wholemeal wraps or pitta bread. I think they're much better than sliced bread.

    The smaller whole wheat breads that have 60-65 calories a slice is what I typically buy (Nature's Own, Wegmans store brand), but honestly I have maybe two slices a week... If it was just me though I'd buy Ezekiel but I'm the only one who eats it, but it keeps a long time in the fridge at least.

    But nothing beats some good old French bread, or whole wheat English muffins.

    I don't tend to eat a lot of bread these days. Not for any specific reason, that's just how it tends to work out. When I did eat more bread, I loved this bread that I can never find anywhere called squaw bread. It looked a lot like pumpernickel, but had a sweetish taste. SOOOOO good, but I literally only know of two places that sell it, and I'm about a thousand miles away.

    I just had a tuna fish sandwich on my homemade power bread--it's basic white with flax seed, chia seed, wheatgerm, currants, sunflower seeds, and ground peanuts. Very little of the extra ingredients goes a long way in my bread.

    I bake my own about every other day using Jim Lahey's famous no-knead recipe.

    http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11376-no-knead-bread

    No more than 5 minutes prep (but a long ferment). Just flour water yeast and salt. It's foolproof, fantastic and makes your house smell like heaven. All you need is a cast iron pot or a dutch oven. Make it 1/4 whole wheat to give it a little more density for sandwiches.

    We usually get the Thrifty's brand multigrain wholewheat bread. The slices are a good size, and since we just freeze it we stock up when it's on sale for like a buck a loaf. It's like 70 calories a slice, so not terrible.

    When I have the time and energy, I really like to make my own bread. I probably won't do that until I'm at my goal weight though. It smells so nice out of the oven that I'd eat it all with butter and jam xP

    Unless I'm making toast or having some wonderful bread, I use low carb tortillas to make rollups for lunch. 60 calories.

    I try not to eat it at all. I can eat a bunch of rice cakes for the same calories. That being said, once in while I buy a loaf that is high in iron and my housemates eat the rest.

    Yeah I tend to have low carb tortillas too now (although the ones I use are 80 calories but high fiber and protein).

    None.

    Well, generally I have a loaf of Dave's Killer Bread in my freezer, but I finished the last loaf about 6 months ago and haven't had any bread since then.
