I have been eating Orlando seedilicious bread and enjoying it. It was recommended by the nutritionist. I am now looking for another bread that is whole grain and healthy. Does anyone have any suggestions. The one I have been getting is only 70 calories and do not want one that is consider low fat or anything like that. Just a good Healthy bread. Thanks for any suggestions.
THANKS Eileen

    Do you have a definition of Healthy? If so, look for that on the label. There isn't much fat in ordinary bread?

    Normal bread has little fat, if any. Fat is not needed to make bread. Whole grain I believe is higher fiber and I think slower in processing in your system, complex versus simple carbs. With bread, calories are largely defined by how big the slice is and how big the bubbles are.

    You'll find less calories in a slice of old style pepperidge farm bread versus new fangled Arnold, just because of the size of the slice. Weigh your slices.

    I looooove all Country Harvest, if you have them where you live. They are delicious and pack a bunch of good stuff.

    I like Dave''s Killer bread..been finding that at Target lately. I don't know if it will meet your criteria of "healthy", but it's lower in calories. Same with Aunt Millies bread, though I dont know about the availability of that one everywhere. If you found one you like, though, why not just stick with that?

    I use a good quality rye bread or good quality pumpernickle. Very dense so you don't need much to feel satisfied! :)

    All bread is glorious. The toppings is what makes them complete (I'm thinking along the lines of the diabetic diet).

    You might try a sprouted bread like Squirrelly, a sourdough, or a rye if you like a high fiber that does not create such an insulin spike.

    I like German-style "heavy" breads like Volkornbrot and Mestmacher Fitness Bread.

    Natures Harvest makes a really good variety of multigrain bread. I particularly like their light multigrain bread. It's only 40 calories per slice.

    I've been making my own lately. Got some tips on how easy it can be to do by hand from a lovely presenter in the "Bread Kitchen" Youtube videos. I'm getting confident now to move away from white flour to more whole wheat/rye concentrated versions. And a couple of weeks ago, completed a successful yeast bread experiment using oat flour and a couple of tablespoons of vital wheat gluten (no other flour) to coax a bread-like rise out of the dough. I portion the dough out into small rolls for breakfasts. The oat flour-only recipe gives a nice morning boost of fiber and protein. If you cut the roll open and fill with peanut butter or jam, it comes out tasting very nicely.
