substitute for bread

Warburtons thins have you tried those? They are 100 cals for 2 slices. They are really thin but help my toast craving! x

Look at the packages. Brown bread is not necessarily healthier, but whole grains have more fiber, which will keep you full longer. Other than that, there's really nothing wrong about bread, except it's not very filling for the calories. I mostly eat low carb/high fiber/high protein wraps nowadays.

Sarah Lee 45 is always good, but honestly as long as it fits in your macros there is nothing wrong with bread. I always try to stick with whole grain or multi grain, but that's just personal preference. I'm a bread lover so I am on the strong "bread has no substitute" side.

There are lots of bread choices. If its the carbs you could try and make form of the paleo breads. I try to make all my foods, That way I know whats in it.

I am just starting to read the book Wheat Belly and one statement really caught my eye. If anyone has read this book, I'd be interested if you read and applied and whether you had any success. Here is the paraphrase of the statement that caught my eye:

From Wheat Belly - Chapter 1:

"people who stopped eating wheat also stopped experiencing a whole lot of other problems such as: acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, higher energy, greater focus and deeper sleep. Rheumatoid arthritis pain improved or disappeared reducing medicine dependency. Asthma symptoms improved or resolved completely. Athletes reported more consistent performance.

Thinner. More energetic. Clearer thinking. Better bowel, joint and lung health time and time again. "

I am going to first reduce my wheat and then work towards elimination in the next 6 months to see for myself whether I see a difference .... fully understanding that what works for one person may not work for the next.

bread!! my opinion is that a substitution it's not the answer at all, it's just gonna gives more anxiety and you are gonna crave it more , you are just going to make it fit your daily calories and that's it, moderation it's what they call it.

i was the same as you but that was something that from the beginning i wanted to control, my bread consumption so i started with one day i would eat and one day i would skip it and now i can go days with out it but again that was my personal preference , you don't have to do it.

bread it's not the problem, the over consumption in your whole diet becomes the problem

I f you just prefer the taste of white bread, there are several brands of "white wheat" bread that have the taste and similar texture of white bread. Just read labels, some will have more fiber or fewer calories than others. Another substitute could be sandwich thins, bagel thins, or corn tortillas. Thins are usually 90-100 calories and corn tortillas around 50 calories each.

Don't just focus on the calories in bread. Look at the ingredients. I'm all about quality over quantity. Those low calorie breads aren't made with the best ingredients. Others have mentioned Ezekial bread. Great bread. Try others. Read labels.

Hi I've a bad habit of eating toast a lot I'm looking for something to have instead bread and that's healthier.. The white bread is killing me and I've tried brown but looking to know if there is a healthier and tastier named brownbread that I could have instead.
Thanks again

How are you eating the toast? Are you putting something on it or eating it plain? Are you eating toast with meals or is toast your whole meal?
Eat lots of other foods. Eat one piece of toast a day. Try different breads- maybe something with whole grains. Put something like peanut butter, hummus or cheese on your toast to make it more satisfying.

I also make a lot of our bread from scratch (french bread, dinner rolls, etc). I haven't found a recipe I like for sandwich bread yet.

Hahaha that's what I can't do. I don't think the loaf would last a day (heck, an hour).

For what it's worth, I find those 45 calorie breads not worth the calories at all. They are so thin and light, it's not satisfying at all to me, plus I've weighed some and a lot are closer to 50/55 calories anyway, so I'd rather have the 65 calorie slices (like regular loaves, just smaller). But it's true that I rarely eat sandwiches anymore, if I am, I'll buy some good French bread, at least that's worth the calories to me.

I fnd that if I just don't buy it I don't eat it. My kids love bread and I always opt for whole grain white without high fructose corn syrup for them and I keep it in the freezer. I used to eat a half a loaf a day plain with nothing on it. I'm what you might call a serious carb addict. I treat bread and rolls and pizza and all that yummy goodness as a treat now once a week. Its not going to kill you, but unless you are doing the exercise to utilize it and burn it off its not going to help you either.

Mmmmm....bread! I love the stuff! Ezekiel is my favorite too. When I get crazy and decide to bake a loaf, I love making Whole Wheat and Honey, or Red River Cereal breads. I prefer baking more because then I know what my ingredients are, and I can control what is added or eliminated.
