    Weightwatchers have their own range in most supermarkets!
    They do wraps and pittas for 100 calories each!
    I am like you, I loveeee bread, but I cant stop at 1slice, I can eat a loaf to myself haha! So I just have eliminated bread, but I use the wraps/pittas, and ricecakes are lovely too!

    You can also make bread or pizza dough from cauliflowers.....just google cauliflower crust for so many different recipes.

    I'm eating primal, so I'm not eating bread either. This website has lots of different info and recipes.

    I love to use whole wheat tortillas. Works great as a substitute. I use it for pizza also.

    Try eating a lettuce wrap instead of a sandwich. They are pretty good. Just put whatever you would put on a sandwich and wrap in large lettuce leaves.

    I eat Weight Watchers whole wheat bread. 40 calories per slice. Or Nature's Own No HFCS Whole wheat for 50 calories a slice. I also use Xtreme Wellness High Fiber/low carb tortilla wraps. They're really good. 71 calories, 12 g fiber, 8 g protein.

    It's better to eat wheat bread than a white bread because it is low in calorie. At the same time don't over eat.

    I Guess BROSCIENCE is don't know nothing LOL

    English por favor

    Broscience

    Broscience is the predominant brand of reasoning in bodybuilding circles where the anecdotal reports of jacked dudes are considered more credible than scientific research

    What I mean was that Broscience is B.S. basically..sorry for the typo..

    I didn't know I typed in Spanish!..LOL

    white bread has a high GI rating, which means it spikes your blood sugar level up high...a lot of carbs like this can lead to fat storage and diabetes. You CAN offset this by eating a High GI rating carb with a low GI rated card b (eg strawberries, raspberries, oatmeal, yogurt, milk, etc) when you eat a High GI food with a low Gi food it gives your meal an overall medium GI rating...proteins and carbs also do this...which is why its important to get protein carbs and fat at every meal. If you can keep your blood sugar level down between 5 and 10, your golden. (the only way to double check that is a blood level monitor, but the majority of your carbs come from foods low on the GI charts....you can be pretty sure you're in check!)

    I read somewhere that an idea to cut out calories with sandwhiches is to do an open faced sandwhich...just one slide of bread.

    LMAO, I hear ya. Its funny, my husband would rather not stop and get a loaf of bread, but if he needs beer, he will make a run in a snow storm (I am teetotaler, 100% alcohol free so I do not purchase it for him)

    I LOVE bread as well. I use whole wheat tortillas to make wraps instead of sandwiches and I also eat the Melba Toast for the toast like feel. Doesn't take the place of bread but I know I have to do what I have to do. lol

    Just remember, calories come from many different things. Eating white bread to get less calories might actually be worse for you than eating a whole grain with lots of fiber and more calories. Don't skimp on your fiber!

    Wheat bread isn't always lower in calories.
    Not all wheat breads are healthier than white. You need to look for whole grain, nothing enriched or refined. They will have higher fiber and sometimes protein.
