    As long as you reach for the healthy, whole grain bread without fillers and all the other crap big companies put in it to cut the costs and keep it on the shelves longer, you're fine. Bread consists of complex carbohydrates that take longer to digest and keep you satieted longer. Great to stop the hunger quicker and for a longer amount of time. Good for lunch.

    Lol you realize that 99% of breads have preservatives , right?

    I personally don't really avoid it. I just don't like eating it. Especially when it's with a food that will probably leave some left over like hot dog or sandwiches. I can't stand eating the leftover bread in those situations, but I can't waste it.

    I freeze leftover bread, especially hot dog and hamburger rolls :)

    Bread is just a major carb source.

    Nearly a year ago I stopped eating foods containing sugars and/or grains to see if I could manage my arthritis pain by diet only instead of starting Enbrel injections for pain manage. In 30 days of eating <50 grams of carbs daily my pain was managed.

    Now nearly a year later still avoiding foods that contain sugars/grains the pain is still well controlled.

    For the last year my macro has been 5% carbs, 15% protein and 80% fats. Because fats are so filling in my case I do not over eat the way I did when living mainly on carbs that always called for more carbs it seemed.

    This is why I limit wheat. Wheat is an inflammation causer which makes my joint pain horrible. It's amazing how much better I feel and can move when I'm 'off' wheat. I haven't thought of limiting carbs for further pain control....perhaps I'll give that a try too. I so don't want to have to go on meds.

    I have been eating more bread since I started with MFP than I did before. It is one thing I crave, and so ... I have a slice or two about every other day. :) We get a really delicious whole grain bread which tastes great toasted with honey or just as bread with cheese and cucumbers. :smiley:

    Usually the Soy & Linseed (229 cal for 2 slices) or the Pumpkin Seed & Grain (217 cal for 2 slices)

    Salt is a classic preservative that home cooks have been adding to their baking for a very, very long time.

    I suspect that Superstore reduced the salt in their meats, cheeses and breads so they DON'T last. Planned food obsolescence.

    Food timing has nothing to do with weight gain or loss. The only food I avoid after lunch is coffee or tea, so I'll sleep better.

    I think I must be a special snowflake.

    I just eat white processed devil bread, within the limits of my macronutritional and calorie goals.

    I am yet to suffer death, become 'addicted', 'crave' mountains of it, develop arthritis pain (In. Every. Single. Thread. I. Post. In.), deploy an insulin spike from the top of my head, or suffer any ill effects.

    I skip bread for many reasons:
    I'm a celiac.
    I was prediabetic and bread does a number on my blood glucose.
    Grains can exacerbate autoimmune problems.
    I eat low carb and bread carbs displace a LOT of veggies.
    I don't love the taste and I would rather eat something else.

    Well you do seem to have child growing out of your armpit, so maybe that's the what is wrong with eating it?

    I'd say actual diagnosed celiac is a pretty good reason not to eat bread.

    Timing doesn't matter at all, as long as you are in a deficit or at calorie goals.

    Not a whole loaf here, but way too much. With butter.

    I used to have a Bosch bread mixer. It was amazing.
