    what's your favorite bread?

    edited September 2024 in Food and Nutrition
    It's grocery-shopping day for me and I need bread. Specifically, I need bread for breakfast toast and lunch sandwiches. What breads do you use that don't throw your calories sky-high? Preferably, options that are available in regular grocery stores (Safeway, etc.), as I rarely get to Whole Foods / Trader Joe's.
    Thanks in advance!

      Nature's Pride 100% Whole Wheat (or any Nature's Pride bread). I'm pretty sure it's widely available.

      I get Arnold Oat Nut or Wegman's store brand Rye for my husband's lunch.

      I'm recently into Thomas' Bagel Thins. I feel like I'm eating a bagel, but it's just little and skinny and 110 calories. Plus, I have jaw problems, so it's easier on me than nomming into a full sized bagel.

      Sara Lee 45cal whole wheat bread. It is the only bread I allow myself to have in the VERY rare occassion that I eat a slice of bread.

      We just found a new one we are using! It is Pepperidge Farms light style with fiber, and only 40 calories a slice! They have a couple different kinds!

      I'm a bit indulgent when it comes to bread, but I'm in it for the fiber content. I like Thomas' light multi-grain English muffins. They're 100 calories per muffin but packed with 8g of fiber. I put a bit of almond butter on it and delicious happens.

      Same with Thomas' bagel thins, especially cinnamon raisin when I can find it.

      We use the Sara Lee 45 calorie per slice bread. It is perfect for toast and sandwiches. Our kids will even eat it!

      Nature's Own double fiber wheat bread. 50 cal. per slice.

      When I saw your post I was so happy. Then I looked up Nature's Own Double fiber bread and it has 100 cal. and 22 carbs per slice ( from there web site). Do I have the wrong bread? Let me know because I would love to find a 50 cal a slice of bread.
      I know weight watchers bread is 100 cal's for 2 slices but they are so small and have no flavor.

      Safeway Low - Fat Mountain Grain Bread is my favorite! 140cal for 2 slices and it is so yummy (lots of seeds and grains in it).

      i like any brand that makes rye bread. rye bread is my favourite bread in the world !!!!!!!!!! its soooo good. i also love multi grain and that bread thats multi grain and full of the yummy seeds !!! :)

      Oroweat Nutty Grain has 5 gr of fiber and it tastes good.
      My favorite is the bread I make myself. It is 45 calories per ounce and whole grain, but does not have added fiber (it could be added in the form of flax seed or meal, ect.). I would be happy to share the recipe. It takes 5 minutes to mix, 12 - 30 hours to rise, and 50 minutes to bake. It makes delicious toast and nice chewy sandwiches.

      Weight Watcher bread is the only one I found. 90-100 cal for 2 slices. There a little smaller but at least you can have a sandwich.

      I like Joseph's Flax Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread. Low fat and high protein.
      60 calories, 20 cal from fat, 2g Fat, 6g Protein, 0 sugar, 0 cholesterol. Excellent source of ALA Omega-3.

      I love Earth Grains Thin Buns. They're great for sandwichs, but not great for toast (they get too dry when toasted). The Earth Grains are moister than the Orowheat or Sara Lee thin buns. They're 100 cals per bun.

      I generally go for the herty bakery breads, between 50-100 caloies per slice.

      Wonder Bread - Smart White 100 calories for 2 slices & cheaper than many of the 45/slice options. It is also lower in sodium than most normal loafs.

      Arnold's Sandwich Thins (Wheat) with flax and fiber. The are great. 100 cals and good source of carb and protein. I like my organic peanut butter and Polaner all fruit jam on them. I also use then for ground turkey burgers and sandwiches like that. Very tasty and available in almost any food store.

      Spelt bread at Sunflower. Their brand. 40 calories per slice, very dense, and oh so good. It really fills you up! Who knew spelt could be so yummy?

      I am crazy for Granary but this is certainly not low in cals :grumble:

      I really enjoy weight - watchers brown loaf in the UK....very nice! Stay away from the weightwatchers danish...it's no good for anything other than toast, it just falls apart as I found out trying to make bacon butties for the builders :laugh:
