This bread is delicious, clean, and good fiber- "Dave's Killer Bread- thin sliced" 60 calories and seriously good! Granted the slices are smaller but that's fine with me if I can eat some good bread. They make one with 70 cals as well- definitely worth checking out if they sell it in your area.

    It appeared in my area only recently. Wanted to get feed back on what type anyone prefers as there are so many varieties. I'm not sure which one to start with. :laugh:

    Gosh, I just googled it. I had no idea they had so many options. I've only seen 2 in the store here and only one that is 60 calories, which is the one I bought. It's the thin sliced 21 whole grains and seeds.

    It showed up in my area not too long ago- it is expensive, but since I'm eating much less bread, I'm not spending more than I was on cheaper bread.

    So what if my garlic bread is made with an organic loaf of bread, using organic butter and garlic? That's clean, delicious and healthy too!

    Eating thin sliced bread is a gimmick??

    No, expensive "clean" (or whatever) bread is the gimmick part. There's just no need IMHO.

    But all the breads people have mentioned are much healthier bread choices- Dave's Killer, sprouted grain breads, etc.- most regular breads are full of crappy ingredients- I'm not just counting calories- I'm focused on super healthy whole foods with no chemicals, GMO's, etc.- I wouldn't choose Fruit Loops over Bran Flakes... Have you read the ingredients in the breads you're eating? For some it's just counting calories, for others it's also nutrition focused- to each his own-

    Bread is never going to be a whole food and it certainly contains chemicals. But I do agree that from a single food comparison it's a better choice for bread than most others I've seen. More protein and fiber than most low calorie breads I've found.

    No need? Is there a "need" to eat one slice of bread instead of two? No, it's just personal preference.

    Better and cheaper than Dave's Killer bread.
    55cal / slice. Very very good.


    Not sure if I've seen this but I'll look for it, interested in checking out the label. I do love sprouted bread! I've been getting bread at Trader Joe's or Fresh Thyme. Fresh Thyme is where I started seeing Dave's Killer Bread for the first time but haven't picked any up yet, way to many to pick from. If I counted correctly 21 varieties of sliced plus bagels and more.

    I appreciate the feedback on the brand I had no clue which one to even try. :laugh: When I eat bread I want it to be good fiber, whole grain, unless I'm going with rye or whatever for a change up.

    @Francl27
    .. it's in the bakery area at Fresh Thyme. I've seen it in the Health Food section on the end caps at other grocery stores. I can't imagine it being with the regular bread but you might find it there depending on what store you shop at. You can always go to Dave's website and see where they sell it in your area. :)

    http://www.daveskillerbread.com/ I'm running out the door so have to finish here but looks like they offer coupons and more.

    I found it at Shop Rite today and it was still 110 calories a slice. Am I missing something?

    Dave's Killer Bread comes in a variety. Only a couple of the thin sliced varieties are 60 calories.
