    Before I started eating healthier, I would bake all kinds of breads just about everyday. That was one of my downfalls... all those carbs! I'm almost dying here craving it lol

    I love homemade baked goods. They are my downfall. I just try to eat them in moderation. A few times I've had to skip a meal because I made a cake... totally worth it. I made cake my breakfast today, also worth it.

    I'm lucky in an odd way - my housemate is non-celiac gluten sensitive. And at (roughly!) 125 calories a pop for a slice of bread, I've just made the choice to have really *good* bread occasionally when I go out. (The bread is one of my metrics for choosing a restaurant now!) I love bread. I love being fit and healthy more. That said, sometimes I just have the bread. It's an occasional one-off.

    I love Italian bread so each week I buy a "mini" loaf..its such a tiny loaf and the slice sizes are very small. It keeps me happy...but honest

    If you can fit it into your macros then go for it.

    I used to bake a loaf or two each week of homemade bread, but then I found out that the reason it made me all bloated after eating it wasn't just it's carby goodness. I have a wheat sensitivity. I only bake bread now like once a month... and even then I have to limit myself to a piece or two or its instant bloating for me.

    Food math for you ...

    Angel food cake = angelic = good for you

    angel food cake - sugar > angel food cake = better for you ( subtracting bad stuff )

    angel food cake - sugar = flour, salt, water, milk, eggs

    flour, salt, water, milk, eggs = bread >= good for you

    Whenever I find myself wanting to eat an obnoxiously large portion of something, I log as if I ate the whole thing, then I eat one piece (slice in this case) of it, chew it slowly, savor it as much as I can, then re-evaulate how much I want to eat the whole loaf/box/etc. Repeat as many times as I want. If (this has always been the case so far) I dont eat the whole thing, I re-adjust this food entry to the portion that I did eat. Then usually it's whee I didn't blow my goal out of the water after all!

    My grandmother used to make homemade cinnamon bread with honey butter... So very good... usually on Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter morning it was the very best smell I can remember as a child.

    I could gorge on that for a ridiculous amount of calories easily.

    In Soviet Russia people used to wait in line for 16 hours just for some bread. Imagine how good that bread must have been! They must have been going around to their friends like, "did you have the bread? Oh, try the bread!"

    My cousin and I learned to make bread from our grandmother before she passed on. I do the same every time I make it and it takes every once of willpower to not eat it in one setting.

    This coupled with homemade apple butter or sorghum molasses and I'm 5 again.

    Seems legit. I like that math!

    I like this idea. That way when you're thinking of devouring a whole amount of something when you've logged it you'll see how many calories you are going to consume if you go ahead. Hopefully it'll be enough to shock you into moderating how much you do eat.

    Yeah and it's also fun to log the whole thing and click "complete entry" and have it nonchalantly tell you "if every day was like today you'd be 6 lb heavier in 5 weeks! :innocent: " I know the 5 week prediction isn't the best thing in the world but it's fun for things like this.

    I've been craving bread lately too! Although I'd prefer a really good, warm cornbread ;)

    It totally is! It always makes me feel 'big' and bloated whenever I give in. I also hate that icky feeling I get in my stomach, when I fall asleep too soon after eating a slice (or three). Luckily I found an alternative with Ezekiel bread. I like the taste and don't feel like I've blown up, after eating it.

    I'll be baking some today... and I'll do the usual of giving half to my neighbors. They must love me for giving them bread, cake, cookies all the time. LOL!! It's a way to enjoy the yumminess, but not eating it all. :wink: I'm not about to give up what I enjoy the most: baking and enjoy the baked goods!! :yum:

    My husband bakes a lot. Cookies and fresh bread. I resist snacking on it by having him slice it/pack it up and put it in the freezer. It lasts longer that way, is out of sight, and takes some effort for me to prepare. This is self defense for me.

    For some reason, he and his family love frozen cookies, but I don't, so it's quite effective.

    It's a Tony Robbins story I believe, where when he was a kid and wanted to drink beer like his dad did (when obviously kids aren't supposed to drink), his mother made him drink a full 6-pack. Naturally he got sick, threw up everywhere, and to this day associates alcohol with sickness and DOES NOT DRINK. At all.

    This could be applied to bread. Just saying.
