I'm not exactly sure where to post this question, maybe here????

Anyway, many is the time when I really don't want such a thick slice of bread as is in the loaf you buy at the store. I wish I could cut it in half! (lengthwise, so I would have two full slices of bread)

Does anyone have any idea how to go about doing this?

    why not buy unsliced bread and slice it yourself?

    I have found some really tasty light breads out there that are only 35 calories per slice! Country Kitchen makes a light Wheat, and the two nearest supermarket chains have their own version that are pretty good and also only 35 calories per slice (Market Basket Light Wheat and Stop & Shop Light Multi Grain) . Have you perused the bread isle at your supermarket for some lighter alternatives?

    I have been using Sara Lee 45-calorie whole wheat bread. I love it! I don't have to eat open face sandwiches anymore!!

    Have you tried sandwich thins or bagel thins. They come pre-split and each half only has about 50 calories. My new favorite are the Thomas Bagel Thins with "Everything." Another option are "mini-bagels. There are whole wheat versions. Most all the mini-bagels are pre-split, and again, each half equals about 50 calories.

    I'm TRYING (operative word) to not have HFCS or artificial sweeteners. Most of the "light" breads I've found contain some sort of artificial sweetener. I think I've found one (and for the life of me I can't remember which one it was) that didn't. Nature's Own 100% whole Wheat bread seems to not contain artificial sugars and is only 50 calories/slice. Only thing is, to me many times I'd like that slice to be thinner. Not to save on the calories so much as the fact that I really don't care for that much bread.

    You know, I'm seriously considering making my own bread and using a meat slicer to slice it so I can get it thin.

    The Oroweat/Arnold sandwich thins have no HFCS. I love the whole-wheat ones.

    I completely agree. Arnold makes a Melba sliced Rye bread that is exactly what you're talking about. 2 pieces are 110 calories total. That's great and all, but I get really sick of rye bread.

    My fix is very low-tech. I just pile my sandwich fillings on one piece of bread. Not so handy to eat, but I prefer it to a 1/2 sandwich, where both sides of the bread are on top of each other.
