As stated in my subject line, I love bread. I would eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I really wanted to haha. I wanted to know if anyone has an alternative that contains less calories.
I'm not talking about replacing it with wraps, crackers or rye etc anything hard.

It's probably not possible, but worth a shot asking. I've tried the wraps/ biscuits / rye etc and all taste gross.

Wondering if there was genuinely a soft alternative that contains less calories but still contains taste. Maybe a specific type of bread. It's one of those things I find impossible to remove from my diet but with roughly 200 calories for 2 slices it can take up a fair amount of calories when you add ingredients in the sandwich.

    Don't give up bread. Bread is lovely. Lighter breads are sliced thinner or are fluffier.

    Round out your meal with a protein, a little fat and veggies and you will stay fuller longer.

    For instance, butter your bread and load it with ham, lettuce and tomato. Done.

    You may also use bread instead of other carbs at your meal to cut calories. That is, cut your pasta instead.

    Why give up something so tasty as bread? I eat a locally baked German farm bread that goes for 62 calories a slice.

    I haven't had much success when I tried eliminating foods that I loved - only when moderating them. 100 calories isn't that difficult to fit into my day.
