It's grocery-shopping day for me and I need bread. Specifically, I need bread for breakfast toast and lunch sandwiches. What breads do you use that don't throw your calories sky-high? Preferably, options that are available in regular grocery stores (Safeway, etc.), as I rarely get to Whole Foods / Trader Joe's.
Thanks in advance!

    Nature's Pride 100% Whole Wheat (or any Nature's Pride bread). I'm pretty sure it's widely available.

    I get Arnold Oat Nut or Wegman's store brand Rye for my husband's lunch.

    I'm recently into Thomas' Bagel Thins. I feel like I'm eating a bagel, but it's just little and skinny and 110 calories. Plus, I have jaw problems, so it's easier on me than nomming into a full sized bagel.

    We just found a new one we are using! It is Pepperidge Farms light style with fiber, and only 40 calories a slice! They have a couple different kinds!

    I'm a bit indulgent when it comes to bread, but I'm in it for the fiber content. I like Thomas' light multi-grain English muffins. They're 100 calories per muffin but packed with 8g of fiber. I put a bit of almond butter on it and delicious happens.

    Same with Thomas' bagel thins, especially cinnamon raisin when I can find it.

    Nature's Own double fiber wheat bread. 50 cal. per slice.

    When I saw your post I was so happy. Then I looked up Nature's Own Double fiber bread and it has 100 cal. and 22 carbs per slice ( from there web site). Do I have the wrong bread? Let me know because I would love to find a 50 cal a slice of bread.
    I know weight watchers bread is 100 cal's for 2 slices but they are so small and have no flavor.

    Oroweat Nutty Grain has 5 gr of fiber and it tastes good.
    My favorite is the bread I make myself. It is 45 calories per ounce and whole grain, but does not have added fiber (it could be added in the form of flax seed or meal, ect.). I would be happy to share the recipe. It takes 5 minutes to mix, 12 - 30 hours to rise, and 50 minutes to bake. It makes delicious toast and nice chewy sandwiches.

    Weight Watcher bread is the only one I found. 90-100 cal for 2 slices. There a little smaller but at least you can have a sandwich.
