    If bread makes your stomach balloon you could try gluten free bread. It's a bit pricey but I use Schar Gluten Free Wholesome Seeded Loaf or schar vitality loaf. 80 calories per slice.

    Thank you for this, I could always buy one and freeze it. Never had an allergy to white flour, but lately it seems that white bread tends to make my stomach balloon.

    Thanks for all the other suggestion, ideally all the ones that are under 100 calories will do (as long as they are wholemeal), right now it's just a matter to find a balance to find food that suits me and my daily calories intake.
    Thank you all again

    Went to Iceland this morning and bought a loaf of Warburtons - Seeded Batch (85 calories per slice), that would do for now. I will check some of the other mentioned bread next time i go shopping to a bigger supermarket. Thank you

    Was the Warburtons loaf 400 or 800gram?

    My current bread from Lidl (what's available in Aldi and Lidl is different everywhere in the UK) has 104kcal per slice. That's perfect for me as I get full from bread and not so much from what I put on top of it.

    Um. Nothing wrong with bread? No need to feel guilty about it. I love granary and for 134 calories it's a reasonably sturdy slice so toast it, couple slices bacon, poached egg, delicious.

    No nothing wrong with bread, but white bread make my stomach balloon, and my problem with bread is that i just love it. I have been known of eating a whole baguette on my own, and once i start i don't know when to stop. That's why i put it in the freezer because it does not make it so accessible. But even at 134 calories I would have 6 slices a day for example that's almost half my maximum calories intake, hence why i tried to cut it completely

    That's easy to control then. I have two slices of bread toasted for breakfast, but won't look at it again until next day's breakfast.

    Hovis have brought out a new enriched fibre granary that's only 67 cals from memory. I've ordered it for my next week's delivery as I've just discovered it was available. I normally go for the hovis original granary at 87 cals for a medium slice. Keeps fresh for days too. :smile:

    I like seeded bread the most, especially M&S seeded bread but a slice weighs 100grams and 152calories. It is filling and yummy, spread with Lurpak butter. :smiley:

    Not sure, I am not at home right now, but it was a small loaf, and the slide are pretty small compared to "normal" loaf
