Thanks! My husband loves tuna caserol, and I refuse to make it (hello dieting!!) but I think he'll enjoy this!
Thanks again.

Thanks for posting this. I was making my grocery list (on the cheap, I'm broke!!), and realized that I have all these ingredients at home or already on the list. Thank you for another dinner idea!! :flowerforyou:

Hello n8e96,

For the calories in whole wheat bread, it appears that each slice, no matter the brand is 120 calories per slice. As for the Buns that I used in the recipe, each bun (top and bottom) is 220 calories, so there really isnt much difference. If you decided to only eat one part of a bun, it would actually be 10 aclories less then one slice of bread. Hope this helps.
