    Brownberry sandwich thins. They are 100 calories each. I get the multi grain for sandwiches and the whole grain for toast.

    Sorry to be "that guy", but most slices of bread are only 100 calories. Some might be 120, but usually 100 is about right. The whole wheat sandwich thins are similar to the 100% whole wheat bread in terms of nutrition and ingredients. I only felt compelled to comment because i work in the "bread" business, and there's really no getting around what bread is. Customers ask me if i carry a no-carb bread or low-carb bread, and we do not. We did at one time, along with all the other oddball "healthy" varieties, but most were discontinued due to lack of sales.

    I used to do gluten free bread but the kind I got was not to my liking. I've kind of decided to eat foods that I enjoy, are clean, and watch the quantity. For me, if I feel like I'm eating food I'm not enjoying, I cheat more often.

    For now we're eating Milton's bread but I also enjoy Rudi's. I look for 100% Whole Wheat as the #1 ingredient.

    I tried completely eliminating bread and gluten but I had a hard time staying consistent. I'm currently having success with limiting my bread to lunch. (like for a sandwich).

    I don't know. This has worked for me but ultimately it's your body and you know it best. For me, what I shared has worked but you'll find the foods that work for you. Another thing I'll add: I try to think about how I feel after a meal. If I have a slight headache or if my stomach hurts, I try to take note of what I ate and try to avoid it. I've been working on this for like 3 years and I'm just now starting to get more connected to my body. When I started I didn't even know what signs to look for.

    Try Silver Hills Squirrely Bread, it's vegan (no dairy or eggs) and it's wholesome, they have all kinds of different brands but I find this the best of everything out there.) It's 110 calories per slice but I enjoy mine toasted with tomatoes and cucumbers and Veganaise to keep the lunch calories low. Yum!! http://www.silverhillsbakery.ca/

    I love Silver Hills.
    I buy the Little Big Bread which is cut a bit thinner so 2 slices for 110 cals/7gr protein/19gr carbs

    I eat a 35 calorie per slice from Aunt Millie's that is also low carb. If not that, always a 12 grain and only one slice.
    Aunt millies 35 calorie potato is so good

    I make my own whole wheat bread. I put it in my recipe box so that it would figure out my numbers for me. It is so yummy and I love that I can still have my "comfort food"

    Unfortunately, SilverHills is not available in Ohio.

    My preference is Ezekiel sprouted breads (my husband likes it for toast but not sandwiches); I recently found a couple Pepperidge Farm whole grain varieties: Ancient Grains & German Dark Wheat (yum!)

    I eat ezekial sprouted grain bread, or alvarado st. sprouted grain bread. Its just a personal preference. I love it because its crunchy, and when its toasted it gets wicked good! (I actually hate bread, but I LOVE Toast :3)
    I like my bread to be like artisan bread, crunnchyy.
    I've got no use for soft bread.
    (I actually don't like pasta for htis same reason)

    No bread... its too processed and is hard to digest for many people. Bread also inhibits weight loss because of the gluten in it. Getting carbs from sources that are not processed is better. Plus will help with weight loss.

    dude I luv you so much right now. Bread doesn't cause weight gain or inhibit weight loss. Unless you over excessively eat it to a point where your cals are through the roof and you got no exercise under your muffin topped belt. :D haha

    I think what he might have meant is since they are split open for a sandwich there only 100 calories to complete a sandwich. (Instead of two 100 calories pieces of bread.) :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Sara Lee 45 Calories per slice. It is decent and I feel like I get a whole sandwich w/o the calories. :)

    ^^ Yup ^^ Me, too. It's the best commercially made lower calorie bread I've tried.

    I switch it up and sometimes do the Brownberry Sandwich thins and sometimes do the Ezekiel bread (Ezekiel Bread must be kept in the freezer and pull out slices as needed.)

    Homemade. I vary what I make by how tempted I wish to be. I LOVE a good Italian or French white but I try to make breads that hubby likes more than I do like rye to keep me out of the bread box.

    Another way to keep bread eating to a minimum is Wasa crispbreads. Each one is only 35 cal and it takes a good long time to chew them.

    I used to eat wheat since it was the only healthy bread in my area, and I think rye is good for you...but I don't really eat bread anymore to answer your question haha.

    For "around the house" bread, we use Nature's Own Whole Wheat. It's decent-tasting sliced bread for sandwiches and only 50 calories a slice.

    Lately I've been thinking of making my own bread, just to see if I can*.

    *I mean specifically me... I've never been good at cooking with doughs that need to rise - for some reason they never rise and the item turns out way too dense. I probably kill the yeast or something.

    Depending on my mode and how much baking I want to do. Nothing with gluten, corn, or high gi ingredients ...

    1) Coconut and flaxseed soda bread
    2) Besan and rice steam bread (i.e. idlis)
    3) Pancakes: any of the above flours and/or soy flour.

    Tesco or Sainsbury's Wholemeal. Not the value range, and not the long life stuff either (don't taste as good). Home baked and the premium breads are out for me because I could eat a loaf a day and get through a lot more butter.

    Homemade if possible - mostly some kind of wholemeal or wholemeal/white mixed, preferably with added seeds, pearl barley etc. Or, if I buy it, then I like white sourdough, or ciabatta, or ones flavoured with cheese etc. I bought I really lovely one the other day - a wholemeal pumpkin seed and cranberry loaf that I can't wait to replicate.

    just looking for a healthy, good tasting bread. Thanks!

    Assuming you have no intolerance or metabolic conditions warranting limiting bread, any bread would fit your criteria

    THIS.

    I eat very little bread, a few wraps but that's it.

    But that's cause I got used to eating really nice, really expensive bread in my previous job (located within 5 minutes walk of both Sonoma and Bourke Street Bakery)... I've been spoilt and I can't go back to supermarket bread. It's all baked 6 months ago in Ireland anyway ;) (not really, but the controversy about coles bakery items makes me very unlikely to but supermarket bread).
