    I like rice paper wraps. Only 70 calories for 3 wraps and I stuff them full of grated veggies and a little hoisen sauce.

    What a good idea!

    My favorite is Ezekial 4:9 bread!!!!! Very good.

    Yaaaaaay, me too! But seriously, eat anything you like. Just don't stuff the whole loaf down your throat.

    I like the Flat Breads. Lots of variety to choice from and most are around 90-100 calories each. LOVE IT!!! :bigsmile:


    p.s. Oh, locally they are almost always a BOGO!!! :bigsmile:

    Whole grain has the entire kernel of the grain from the bran to the endosperm to the germ. Whole wheat has the bran and germ removed during the refining process and is left containing only the endosperm. Unfortunately, the majority of vitamins and fiber are contained in the wheat bran and wheat germ that is shed during the refining process.

    Whole wheat flour goes through a refining process that removes some of the nutritional values. In fact, whole wheat flour has half of the nutrients stripped away during the refining process. Whole grain flour is not refined and therefor maintains its full nutritional value. Whole grain bread is a good source of B vitamins and fiber and is lower in fat than whole wheat bread.

    Whole grain is lower in fat than whole wheat. Whole grain also contains all of the fiber, iron and B vitamins that nature intended because it does not go through a refining process. In fact, the refining process strips away half of the vitamins, calcium, iron and fiber from whole wheat products.

    Whole grain and whole wheat look very similar. Most people cannot tell the difference between the two without tasting them. Whole grain has a richer taste than whole wheat does. Whole grain has a more dense texture than whole wheat does. Whole grain maintains all of the nutrients nature intended which makes it a more filling and satisfying choice than whole wheat. It is possible to feel full quicker while eating less when you choose whole grain over whole wheat. Also, whole grain is a better choice for diabetics because it cause less of a "sugar spike" than whole wheat does. Refined grains have been linked not only to weight gain but also and increased risk of insulin resistance. In fact, whole grains have been shown to lower your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes otherwise known as adult onset Diabetes.

    The only way to know if you are getting whole grain or whole wheat is to read the label. Look for whole wheat flour as the first ingredient or a statement that it is made with 100% whole grain. Sometimes labels can be deceiving, so make sure that you read the label carefully. The Whole Grain Council makes it even easier for you by putting their whole grain stamp on whole grain products. So read the labels and look for the whole grain stamp to pick the healthiest products.

    The art of losing weight is different as everybody is different. Many people can not lose weight eating breads. So for you it might be trail and error. If you can lose weight by eating breads try and eat a healthy bread.

    I would say whichever is the most filling and has the least sugar... I personally LOVE Franz San Juan Nine Grain Bread. It may just be a Seattle thing, but it's so good. And it fills you up. Has lots of little nuts and seeds in it.

    Organic spelt whole grain - awesome, or else sour dough - both are pretty common in Australia. Are they popular in America? /:)

    On another note, I just noticed this is a zombie thread. Hope the OP ate a ton of bread and lost all the weight they needed to. ::Bowing out::

    No I am not one of those people. Not at all. This has nothing to do with calories as it does on how some bodies metabolize breads and grains. I am saying in my family of us FAT people we lose weight by cutting out sweets and breads (bad carbs) Grains are good, but for us they bloat our stomachs and intestines. Many people are like that. And then there are others that do very well. Boy you are touchy, need a few more carbs perhaps in your diet.

    Dark rye bread is supposedly the best, but really who cares what type of bread as long as it fits into your daily calorie goal, and if you're really worried about it, instead if two slices go to one slice.

    It's really whatever you like so long as you fit it into your calorie budget.

    But I use whole wheat sandwich rounds (the ones I get are 110 calories) for veggie burgers (since the patty is round...it makes more sense to me), and then for regular bread, I get either the Sara Lee 45 calorie whole wheat bread, or Nature's Own Honey Wheat 40 calorie bread. 80-90 calories for two slices of bread isn't bad in my book. :)

    I like this idea too! I've made salad rolls with rice paper wraps in the past, filled with noodles, shrimp, mango and fresh basil, then dipped in peanut sauce. It's incredible but a little high in cals with the noodles. Great idea stuffing them with veggies and using hoisin.

    Re: bread - I'm not sure if it's available widely but there is a brand here called Silver Hills that makes a loaf called Little Big Bread - I think 110 cals for two slices? It's pretty awesome for toast and I love the calorie count.

    I love bread, and dont eat diet breads. I recommend budgeting what you like into your calories.

    I like wholemeal pitta breads.

    The ones I use are about 160 calories (less than two slices of bread) and if you split them open carefully you can stuff them with meat, chicken, vegetables, etc.

    any 100% whole wheat bread with no high fructose corn syrup or white sugar is great!

    it is usually lower in calories and higher in fiber and protein!

    I also recommend sprouted whole grain Ezekiel bread! its low cal and a complete protein!

    I aim for whole grain and high fiber. Healthy Life brand is one of my favorites, and easy to find.

    My personal favorite is Dave's killer bread. I eat the power seed because there are 6g of fiber and 6g of protein per slice. I know he also does "lite" breads that are lower in calories. After eating Dave's every other sandwich bread tastes bland to me, but I have heard good things about Ezekiel bread, so might give that a try some time.
