Is there a healthy bread out there that won't blow me right out of the water or is it just about moderation? I'm hearing bad things about even whole grain breads which I used to think were healthy. I LOVE bread. I miss my old friend. My cheat meal last week included a pb&j on whole wheat, my favorite.

    Anything can be considered bad - it depends on who the 'expert' talking is.

    Yes, wheat and whole grains are 'healthier' than white because they break down slower (complex carbs). If you don't care about blood sugar and quick sugary energy then it doesn't really matter though.

    But to question your question - what makes bread unhealthy in your eyes?

    Sure . . . just walk down the aisle and pick the first loaf you see.

    I still eat bread, I just buy smaller slice wholemeal bread. I usually find its the fillings that are more the killer.

    A lot of people who have idet books out say have open sadwiches (ie one piece of bread) but tbh I'd rather have smaller bread.

    Fresh soft warm bread...butter...heaven. Half a loaf gone before you know it. So in the freezer it goes, a couple of slices a day and that is it. It seems any slice is between 80-130 calories, so just go for you you like but don't over do it.

    ^^^ Yep.

    There's no such thing as unhealthy bread. Even cinnamon and sugar bread with a powdered sugar glaze and melted butter dripping from it can be healthy in the context of a balanced diet. It's your overall diet that's either healthy or unhealthy, not individual food items.

    I think its moderation. I have read that we naturally take longer to digest bread, hence bloating feeling. I'm easting weight watchers malt loaf at them mo, then switch to a brown, so i get a varied diet and taste.

    I'm fond of Arnold's whole wheat bread (usually found at Harris Teeter).
    Lots of great bread choices from Trader Joes as well.

    Not sure where abouts in the world you are from but in England we have smaller versions of loaves of bread, which are about 50 caleries a slice. My favourite is warburtons best of both, which 57 a slice :)

    The Ezekiel sprouted breads are delicious.
    I like the 7 grain I think it's 80 cals a slice but you get 4 grams of protein per slice.

    I say if you like bread, find a really GOOD healthy bread that you like and just portion it out through the week.

    Great ideas guys. I need to do some more investigating. Thanks all. I was really under the impressions that ALL bread was kind of taboo.
