Sometimes when I'm really craving bread or pasta I substitute some cookies or cake. As long as it fits my calories (and sometimes when it doesn't).:blushing:

Oh oh! And sometimes I get huge heads of romaine to make sandwiches with except they always end up being wraps because romainwiches leak. But yeah! Super tasty without bread! Then I go eat a pot pie.
I like the way you do things.0 -
Quinoa or Cous Cous. Both excellent alternatives. Can put anything savoury in with them and it'll taste great. For pasta look up Soba noodles. Much better.0

I love bread/baked goods and I found it impossible to cut it out completely. So I don't. I just pick and choose the days I'm going to eat it. I always give myself a day to not care so much about my calorie goal and have whatever I want. I still practice portion control on those days. Then I'm back on track the next day. This works really well for me but I've seen other people on here say that it's not a good idea. Do whatever works for you. Good luck on your journey.0

Wow. I went to work for a little bit and come back and there are way more comments that I had expected! Thanks to everyone that put in a suggestion for me. I'll be reading through all of them eventually. Lol Already got through a few and I appreciate the feed back very much.0

Tortilla's. It wasn't intentional, but thanks to MFP, I just sort of stopped buying bread and now haven't bought a loaf in over a year. Tortilla's, however, we go through like crazy.0

I prefer making my own, mostly pancake style, using whatever I'm in the mood for.
-- Besan flour
-- Soy flour
-- Bean pancakes
-- Banana pancakes
-- Oatcakes
-- Flaxseed pancake
-- Rice pancake
-- Grit cakes
-- Pumpkin, carrots, or potato pancakes/latkes0 -
There's nothing wrong with carbs. Just eat the bread!!!0

flour products give me a stomach ache,,, subsequently a crappy mood and usually zits, so i eat lots of varieties of sweet potatoes and squash (winter, fall & summer types) also pumpkins and other starchy tubers, (taro, mountain yam ect) and fruits and other carbilious vegetables depending on the season. i have a lot of fun eating this way, makes me super happy and enthusiastic about the seasons & all the variety i get to eat every day : )0

I just eat bread/pasta in moderation. I make it fit within my calorie/macro goals and then I enjoy it guilt-free.
this x 1000
OP - is there a specific reason you are avoiding bread?0 -

Zucchinni noodles!!!! you can find all kinds of recipices online. I love to sub vegetables for where I would have traditionally used a grain.
Side note: Cauliflower is an amazing sub for bread, potaoes, and rice

it is only a matter of time before some genius comes up with cauliflower ice cream ….good lord just eat the bread and stay in a calorie deficit..0 -
I substitute bread with more bread. I like to substitute this every day.
If you work on developing a healthy relationship with food (where dichotomies of good and bad, or guilt and comfort aren't part of your mindset) then there is no need to eliminate anything except when medically necessary. While it is not easy to achieve this it is much more sustainable and enjoyable in the long run.0 -
I need my morning toast, and you can't do that with cauliflower!0
-
I have peanut butter on wheat toast every morning!
I do avoid wheat bagels now, just because they aren't worth it to me calorically or sodium-wise, and I don't eat "just because" bread anymore like they give you at Longhorn before you even order. If I am eating bread now, it's as a part of my meal, like toast or a sandwich.. or french toast! MMM!0 -

Bread stinks! I am addicted to the processed carbs to some degree as well, but my body and especially tummy feel so much better when I avoid bread. Go for whole grains instead of pasta- brown rice, quinoa, barley. Swap cereal for rolled oats. And if you can manage- it is tough sometimes- turn your sandwich lunches into salads. Big handful of lettuce then put sandwich stuff like tomatoes, turkey, avocado, chicken salad, etc on the salad. I like homemade dressings and dijon mustard vinaigrette to make it really taste more like a sandwich. Hope this helps and good luck on the war against processed bread! Remember a war is won one battle at a time
addicted to carbs but still eats carbs…*facepalm*0 -
