Morning all

So a very basic question from me. Which is the best bread to buy? I am so baffled by all the options I have no idea which to go for.

Which do you buy? (if any)

TIA :)

    Whichever one you like that fits into your calorie goals

    Basically, bread is bread. Find one you like. :)
    (I do not eat bread because I prefer to spend my calories on other things.)

    We bake our own bread with a bread machine. No sugar added, we do add a bit of honey. The bread you buy contains a lot of stuff such as sugar.

    Variety is the spice of life. Try them all. Be aware that not all brown bread is wholemeal. If you want to eat wholemeal make sure it says 'wholemeal' somewhere on the packet.

    I get most of my various breads from behind a winery in a barn, and there's wood involved. There are a few I buy in the box stores, but generally just walk right past the bread dept. Find a good bread maker and be happy.

    A loaf of bread made at home lasts the 2 of us 3-4 days.My bread is mostly wheat with various seeds added. Very good & filling.

    I prefer whole wheat bread that has as few ingredients as I can find for a reasonable price (around $3/loaf). No high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and local if I can find it. Just my preference.

    I love potato bread. I think the brand I buy is brownberry. It's around 90 calories a slice.

    Whichever kind of bread you love... and whichever bread you want to try and see if you like the taste. Just remember, all you need to do is make sure whatever bread you choose to eat fits into your daily calories. :flowerforyou:

    As with most things: it depends on your goals. If your goal is only to see the number on the scale go down, any bread you like.

    If you have other goals (health, nutrition, fitness etc.) my answer might be different.

    Whole grain bread is better for you than white bread. That being the case, there is no one "best bread." Here's a quick read on the topic: http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/whole-grains/

    I agree with the general consensuses, that there is no "best bread". If you are looking for a good clean bread, then making your own is best, or find a local baker that you trust. I personally am far too lazy, er busy to bake my own and I only have one local baker that I trust and they typically run out by the time I get there. I purchase Ezekiel 4:9 ® Sprouted Whole Grain Bread, and I have found it's the best value with the ingredients I feel comfortable with. Food for Life has other varieties, but I personally like this one, just my preference.

    Which bread goes with what you are eating?
    What bread do you like?

    I bake bread a lot, I also buy everything depending on what I'm using it for.. white bread, pumpernickel rye, potato, they all go very well for certain things. The macros are only slightly different compared to my home made bread, and usually mine is higher calorie.

    ETA: my goals are health, fitness, nutrition and I still eat bread.

    We have a local rye bread that is 60 cals per slice. Generally to fit my caloric goals I migrate towards that. Otherwise if I feel like a 'heavy' bread for added energy I go with a 7 grain type bread which has way more taste and seems to satisfy my hanger pangs for longer.

    Alpine Valley at Costco is particularly yummy. Organic, whole grain, lots of fiber. I buy it when I want toast for breakfast. I also like Arnold's. It's high in calories so it fills me up.

    Well I think it depends on what you're looking for. Something tasty? Low in calories? Organic? Etc, etc. For me I try to eat non GMO and low calories. I love Aunt Millies light breads. Only 35 calories per slice! I can have toast with my eggs guilt free! Or a turkey sandwhich with mustard and not kill my calroies! If they don't have aunt millies in your area, I believe Sarah Lee also makes one that is 45 cals per slice but they tend to use GMO ingredients.
