What kind of bread do you eat?

I eat Sarah Lee 100% multigrain. Only 45 calories a slice and it's delicious

Earthgrains. 35 calories per slice.

Stefilily, I don't know what Earthgrains you get but I know all their plain breads have 100 calories per slice. Earthgrains does make a sandwich thin (which tastes pretty floury to me, but a good choice if you're watching calories) but that's 100 caloires for the whole thing (so 50 calories for half of one).

Arnold is good too.
Or you could make your own bread! That wouldn't reduce the calories, but you'd be putting what YOU wanted into it instead of having extra sugars or whatever.

i get the sara lee 45 calorie bread, orawheat sandwich thin 90 calories or the flatout flatbread 90 calories. i make rollups and veggie pizzas with the flatbread. sandwiches and little pizzas with the sandwich thins. sometimes i even eat the sandwich thins right out of the package. they fill me up and for some odd reason i don't feel as guilty eating one of them as i do eating the same 90 calories eating a granola bar or special k bar.

I love Arnold's :happy: whole wheat and Sandwichthins Whole bread.

i do the wheat bread, whole wheat preferred. i'm trying to get off all things white, so this is where i started. now my whole family prefers the wheat bread!

I don't eat any bread, can't find any worth the calories. I do occasionally eat a sourdough english muffin though.

oops double post!!

OK, I know this may sound arrogant, and I REALLY don't intend it, but here it goes: I lived the first 25 years of my life in Germany and then the next 12 in France, and then moved to the UK and then to the US, and I have a hell of a hard time getting used to considering bread as something that's wrapped in plastic, has an ingredients list as long as my arm and lives on a supermarket shelf. The first few weeks in the UK I wondered what on earth people ate (surely not the sliced squishy stuff?!) and resorted to crumpets. Anyhow, I still try to avoid buying anything like that when I can help it, however fortified it may be. I DO like dark rye + multigrain bread German-style (which comes pre-sliced). UK supermarkets have quite juicy products, all-organic, from Schneider Brot (imported). It's about 150 cal or thereabouts a large, filling slice (plus/minus 20).

Here in the US, one kind of "Como" style white light sourdough bread they sell at Safeway isn't bad. A local bakery, which specializes in bagels my (Jewish) partner somewhat scoffs at, does however bake really nice breads. The German Rye sold out quickly, but I got a very nice loaf of sourdough -- a bit heavier and sourer than the Como bread, and not quite what my partner likes, but hey! She is into Thomas English muffins, which do smell heavenly when toasted.

I know bread can be treacherous if consumed in excess (high in calories), so I limit myself to 1 slice and put something high in protein on top to stave off hunger. A typical breakfast might be a slice of sourdough bread with 80-120g of 2% cottage cheese, some pepper and a tomato, for 250-300 cal.

Another nice thing is Wasa crispbread, followed by Ryvita. Good with a half-TBSP of peanut butter for a snack. High in fiber and low in fat.

So bottom line, I like breads that are closest to the raw ingredients. Bread baking traditions are an awesome achievement of human culture, and I want to keep partaking!

Squirelly bread rules!

I also agree -- this is the best bread out there! I bake my own thou:

wegmans lite wheat, 80 cals for 2 slices.
