I switched to sandwich thins they are yummy and just right,,,0

100% whole wheat sandwich thins are good and low calorie. I eat sprouted bread as sprouted grains are very healthy for you. My favorite brand is Silver Hills. Anything sprouted should be kept in the fridge or freezer.
100% whole wheat by Rudi's is good too!
Stick with 100% whole wheat and whole grains!0 -
Question: half and half bread? I haven't heard of that before.
Do you have a sensitivity to gluten? If so, Udi makes good bread that is gluten free.
My personal favorite is Dave's Killer Bread. I like it because their breads don't use any "drugs", and they use a lot of seeds, nuts, etc. I like the Power Seed variety, though I know a lot of people who like Good Seed.
There are also other types of bread that are not made with wheat, or are made with sprouted wheat. If you have a natural food store in town, you might want to check them out.0 -
I like the whole wheat sandwich thins and/or the Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted breads.0
-
More fibre in whole grain bread. So it depends on what the rest of you're diet is made up of and if you are getting enough fibre.0
-
I eat a variety of breads. Never any enriched flour. I eat 100% whole wheat and "Food For Life"'s Ezekiel, 7 Sprouted Grains, Sesame, Genesis 1:29, and Raisin breads. I make my own artisan breads and also banana, blackberry applesauce etc. breads. I also buy the 100% whole wheat breads that have no HFCS, preservatives or artificial flavors. Hope this helps.0

Thanks guys...half and half bread is half white and half whole meal...it's one of the better breads but I want to eat THE best one. I eat lots of vegetables..especially leafy stuff such as cabbage, spinach etc. I also eat bran flakes for fibre and that really helps me.
Whole grain it is! 0 -
If it bloats you a lot your body doesn't like it, so don't eat it! I'm the same, I don't eat any bread or pasta products now and can't say I miss them now. If I had to I might eat rye bread, it's best for you.0

It's usually a toss up between whether you want to go for low calorie or bread with nutrients. If you are purely counting calories then just look at how many calories per slice. A great exampe is Weightwatchers bread, which is made by Warburtons so is exactly the same as their normal bread, just thinner/smaller slices. Warburtons own brand is cheaper!
If you want to also make sure the bread you have has some nutrients then go for multigrain (tastes nicer too). My favourites are Burgen Linseed and Soya of Warburtons or Hovis multigrain. But all supermarkets do their own brands.
Personally I just don't buy bread any more because if it is in the house then I will toast and eat the lot with lots of butter! Instead I live off Ryvita (love the various grain ones as they taste nicer) and Discovery tortillas (smaller than most tortillas so they have around 110 calories each. I even toast them to use to scoop up curry, chilli etc. Sainsburys permanently have them on three packs for £4, so I suspect most supermarkets do too. They have wholemeal varieties so are a bit healthier than white). Might be worth trying one of these if bread is giving you trouble.0 -

That's brilliant...thank you! Think I'll go for the Warburtons one...I love sardines on toast:laugh:0 -

Mmmmmmm... sounds good! Warburtons is definitely the nicest tasting one - higher calories per slice but loads more seeds and nutrients etc.0 -

Although to be honest, at 100 cals per Thin I'd rather save money and just get a good quality multi-seeded loaf, Tesco Finest Mulitseed Farmhouse Batch is delicious and only around 110 cals a slice and much cheaper than the Thins.

I'd go for an artisan bread preferably a sourdough every time. Why? Because the Chorleywood process (look it up) has created breads that the body just struggles with.
So-called 'wholegrain' breads from the supermarket are oftne made with 'enriched' flour - ie. flour that has been stripped of its nutrients and then the brain and grain stuff is thrown back into the mix to make the bread crunchy. In addition, yeast is supposed to react S-L-O-W-L-Y. Anyone who has ever made bread by hand will tell you that there is nothing you can do that will speed the process up (aside from temperature and humidity that is).
Bread is made from flour, yeast, water and salt. It doesn't need to be made with enzymes to speed up the process or any stabilisers. A sourdough to my mind is the best - natural yeasts colonise the dough and cause it to rise. The result is a slow-risen loaf that is easier to digest because the gluten has begun to break down already (as opposed to in the Chorleywood process). In addition, a good sourdough loaf has a chewy crust and springy crumb - this has the bonus of making you chew for longer and assists with digestion.
All Hail the Sourdough Loaf!!!0 -
When I do eat bread I choose Ezekiel or Gluten-Free Rice breads0

That's what I do. As my son is the only one who eats bread we always have a loaf of the Tesco Finest and a loaf of their white value thick sliced in the freezer (he LOVES the cheapo value one for toast but I make sure he has a decent loaf too, lol!) and just take out a couple of slices each time otherwise I'd waste a fortune throwing stale bread out every other day.0
