I don't know if you can find it out there, but we get one from California: Alvarado Bakery Protein Bread. It's sprouted grain, really good, and relatively low on the calorie count.0

Ezekiel bread.0

Ezekiel bread.
x2. I try to make this the only bread I eat.
But mainly, focus on finding whole wheat with 0 hydrogenated oils or corn syrup and you're probably okay.0 -
I like Alpine Valley products...the multi-grain is my favorite0

Alpine Valley 9 grain organic...it's the best!0

I like Arnold Healthful breads. 5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein per slice. I also find them yummy.0

Surprisingly, Sourdough is a LOT healthier than even most multi-grain or whole grain breads. The fermentation process makes the Gluten digestible and seriously increases digestion time, IE giving it a much higher Glycemic rating.
I only eat bread after a workout, and if my son like sourdough peanut butter sandwiches, that's what I would be buying.

At Costco I like to buy "Dave's Killer Bread". Very hearty stuff.0

Update on sourdough and glycemic index:
(Citing nutritiondata.com figures for Estimated Glycemic Load)
White bread - 3
100% whole wheat - 5
Snickers Bar - 5
Sourdough - 23
Sprouted Wheat - 24
Anyone still think that wheat bread is a 'healthy' option?0 -
make your own- sourdough starter, water, flour, oil, salt. done. ok, well let it rise first, punch down, form, rise, bake, then done.0

I was just about post this same thing. Assuming the breads you've looked at don't contain actual feces, crap is just your opinion. Some context is needed.0 -

Another vote. I buy several bags every time we go down to Costco in the US.0 -
Booths do a really lovely low GI Multiseed unsliced loaf that has a nice taste and is only 89 cal a slice0

All this talk of GI brings me to this point.
Please read this article so you understand what the GI number means and if it's really relevant -- you decide.

From the article:
They're all "low glycemic" foods. And according to many nutrition experts, that qualifies them not only as healthy but also as great diet fare. For example, NutriSystem has pegged its marketing campaign on the science of the "glycemic advantage," which the company claims is the key to losing weight while allowing you to eat the foods you love.
NutriSystem now qualifies as a "nutritional expert"??? I suppose because they couldn't find an actual expert that would say "Low GI = healthy and great diet fare". Though to be fair to the experts at Nutrisystem, that's not exactly what they say either.0
