Hi,
I'm a toast lover and i was wondering how bad it is for you really. I have seeded wholewheat bread (hovis seed sensations) with low fat flora spread and marmite. Is it okay to eat even if i am counting the cals?

    I think the whole grain toast is all right, but the spread doesn't sound like it contributes much. Cheese or nut butter would give you some protein; you could also put an egg on top. Cheese, egg, and toast is pretty tasty!

    :sad: Why would toast be bad for you? Just don't eat a whole loaf of it smothered in lard - that would be bad....
    And the margarine and marmite makes it taste good and give you the salty, crunchy taste for little calories and low fat, so go for it! I LOVE Marmite!!

    Just be careful, because, when you drop it, it always lands butter-side down. The five second rule doesn't apply when that happens.

    Wholemeal toast is good for you. But most types of toast such as white are not a big deal, im sure you'll lose weight if you ate toast everyday for breakfast. I eat toast almost everyday and im still alive :)

    Why would toast be bad? Did I miss a memo? Seriously, it's exactly as nutritious as the bread you make it from and what you put on it.

    So good.

    (Well... not sure about the low fat flora part... butter + marmalade for me :drinker: )

    Alot of people fail a diet because they make it very stricked. Bread is a good source of fibre , unless your eating a whole loaf of bread then it is bad. lol

    I used to eat way too much buttered toast, and in that sense eating six slices a day is bad. I cut bread out for a good while until I improved myself and my control. I've found I really enjoy the crunchy wheaty texture of toast the best, similar to cakes and cookies, etc, which I was missing a bit. Pickly tasting dark rye bread is my favourite at the moment, topped with some lingonberry jam.

    Pumpernickel with raw honey is my favorite. It spreads like peanut butter. Actually, I'm thinking about having some right now.
