i always choose Nature's Own whole wheat because it has no HFCS. But I've recently read to avoid whole wheat. Was wondering your thoughts on a better choice.

    I just look for the protein and fiber counts (bang for my calorie buck). There's something wrong with whole wheat now? Seriously...the stuff that's "bad for you" changes every week, almost.

    Why were you told to avoid whole wheat?

    Unless you have an allergy or intolerance, whole wheat is fine. The best bread to eat is the one that tastes good to you and fits within your goals.

    All of it. My favourites these days:
    • Crusty sourdough buns with chili and soups
    • Pumpernickel, well, any time
    • Naan bread when there's sauce to sop up

    Whichever bread you like that allows you to feel full and stay within your calorie goals. If we changed what we ate everytime a study got released or someone told us something was bad for us we'd eat nothing at all.

    I think it has to do with supply and demand. "oh, no! we have too much of THIS, so let's tell people that THAT is bad for them, so they'll buy more of THIS." ...economics conspiracy theory #1. ;)

    ETA: I base my bread-choice on the amount of calories:protein/fiber, too.

    Just from a taste point of view I reckon 100% rye light sourdough is my favourite. Not great for weight loss as it tastes too good

    I absolutely LOVE Ezekial Bread! It is 80 calories a slice, and made from whole ingredients. You can find it in the refrigerated whole foods section at grocery stores.

    Some breads can have slightly more nutrients than other breads but I don't think it really matters too much in the long run. Bread is bread.

    I love sourdough and I usually eat that if I can.

    I also like Dave's Killer Bread. I used to get the smaller loaves that are like 60 calories a slice, both to stay within my goal and because I live alone & can't usually eat a normal sized loaf before it goes bad. But, that stuff is expensive so I've been buying the Sara Lee "Delightful" 45 calorie bread. I'm not picky about bread & pretty much just go for what tastes good, fits in my calories, & isn't pricey.

    Seriously, in the context of a calorie-counting diet, I expect my bread to be about 100-150 calories a slice. It's really the rest of the meal that makes it sing.
    • Bread and peanut butter
    • Bun and chili
    • Naan and curry chicken with salad greens on the side
    • Dark rye with cream cheese and bell pepper

    Silverhills Bakery - Squirrelly Bread, recommended by dietition or for low potassium diets The Big Little Bread by Silverhills as well.

    Another vote for Ezekiel! Sprouted grains lower the glycemic index of the product. The taste is something to get used to--it is also $$$$

    I :heart: bread too! Loving the bread love. For eating on a regular basis, I buy the stuff with most protein/fibre per calories as well. Some of the new high-fibre breads, like the Country Harvest one, is 8g fibre and 5g protein for a 100 calorie slice. To me, that’s gold. I really don’t care about anything else. Sometimes I’ll eat a nice white baguette too, because it be delicious. And I do love me a good dark rye sandwich.

    I try to stick to whole grain. The grain doesn't have to be wheat though.

    Whichever one you like the best and helps you meet your calorie goals. What the heck is wrong with whole wheat?

    Quinoa Bread and/or Sprouted flourless whole wheat berry bread. Both of which are from Trader Joe's (if you have one near you). Both made with all natural, non-processed ingredients, filling, high fiber, high protein and low sugar. Ezekiel bread is an awesome choice just VERY pricey in comparison to the other two i listed.
