I usually eat a sandwich for breakfast but through logging I noticed the sliced bread I like has quite a bit of sodium.
So looking for recommendations on a good bread to have, available in the UK? If possible one that's not incredibly thin that I'm barely having anything :P I (normally) wouldn't have it except for breakfast.

    Give up bread, unless you like sugar, and don't mind losing your Thyroid.

    I haven't looked at the sodium content, but I love Sainsbury's seeded wholemeal bread. It's around £1.20 a loaf. It keeps me satisfied longer than other bread and it tastes good. It's also less expensive than a lot of the other seeded loaves on the shelves. I don't usually go into Sainsbury but for this bread, I make a special trip.

    I prefer to bang out my own in the winter and only order up groceries when all my staple items go on sale. Staying indoors alone makes it worth the effort, plus you can make it however you want.

    Maybe you could try switching to a wrap?

    PItta bread does it for me.

    The Food Doctor do a beautiful one, but you might need to freeze it and toast as you go as it doesnt last a week usually due to lack of preservatives (hence low sodium)

    Unless you have a medical need to reduce sodium, there is no need for it. But i will say, that if you are active, you need more sodium than a non active person. Additionally, eating foods high in potassium and magnesium can offset some of the effects (water weight) from excessive sodium.


    do you guys have Arnold brand?
