    I eat bread, mostly open face sandwiches, or half sandwiches with a vegetable or salad or soup. 2 pieces of bread are about 180-200 calories. So by eating an open face sandwich, you are almost cutting the calories in half . I try to avoid noodles, but found some shiritaki noodles, really nice change, but hard to find. I think that one serving is 45 calories.
    I eat takeout pizza in moderation, the thinner the crust, the fewer the calories.

    Good luck!

    I buy my bread at Dollarama. (It's good!) It's only 110 calories for 2 slices

    Bread stinks! I am addicted to the processed carbs to some degree as well, but my body and especially tummy feel so much better when I avoid bread. Go for whole grains instead of pasta- brown rice, quinoa, barley. Swap cereal for rolled oats. And if you can manage- it is tough sometimes- turn your sandwich lunches into salads. Big handful of lettuce then put sandwich stuff like tomatoes, turkey, avocado, chicken salad, etc on the salad. I like homemade dressings and dijon mustard vinaigrette to make it really taste more like a sandwich. Hope this helps and good luck on the war against processed bread! Remember a war is won one battle at a time :wink:

    addicted to carbs but still eats carbs…*facepalm*
    Personally I thought the dijon mustard vinaigrette to make it taste more like a sandwich was the clincher......I would definitively need to toast the lettuce leaves though for a real faux toasted sandwich taste. j/k

    Actually if you took the 2 seconds to view the recipe you could see that you in fact can...but why bother when instead you can be narrow minded and rude. He asked for substitution ideas and that is what i gave!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus people expand the mind a little here. Guess what? I eat bread sometimes to, but not all the time. The point is he asked for suggestions and ideas...take what you like and use it. Take what you don't like and throw it away but stop demonizing creative healthy substitutions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am one of those people who has tried to give up gluten without a true diagnosis. I do know that since I have I feel so much better - I do miss a slice of sour dough bread or a montreal bagel but such is life.

    As for things I use as a substitute - really there is no substitute for "bread" but if you are looking for something to hold a sandwich as others have suggested you can wrap goodies in romaine lettuce leaves, rice paper wraps make an interesting vehicle for fillings (bear in mind I've never found brown rice ones so they are white rice), I sometimes just enjoy gf crackers, crunch master are delicious! They are also good for the occasional oven baked chicken tender.

    Truly I mostly eat my grains in cereals and rice. I have to shout out for the spiralizer thougth, I had "zoodles" last night. I LOVE them - more than I used to love pasta.

    Cheerio

    I love how so many people didn't help me at all on here and was just like "I eat bread anyway because I love bread"
    That's not what I had asked. I know this thread is long dead, but I was just going back through it and if you MUST know why I wanted to know instead of just answering my question, I just don't want to eat as much bread but still eat the things that are usually bread filled. I don't care about

    I just eat bread/pasta in moderation. I make it fit within my calorie/macro goals and then I enjoy it guilt-free.

    This is what I do, too. Usually one serving of some sort of bread or grain a day.
