If you really want to be able to enjoy a low calorie diet, eat lentils, salads with balsamic vinegar, egg whites, not meat, granola sans sugar, oatmeal, brown rice, miso soup, etc. I eat under 1000 calories a day and I run and I feel great and satisfied. When I need dessert, I eat a nutrigrain bar which is only 120 calories. Similarly, pickles have zero calories. Less processed food=fewer calories honestly. And if you want to lose weight, I suggest going vegan+seafood if you are athletic or just vegan if you aren't. There is a reason that fat vegan people are rare. If you want more suggestions, just message me or reply to this, etc.12

Aside from resurrecting a super-zombie thread... :huh:
how exactly can one be vegan+seafood? That is technically a pescatarian. :huh: :huh:2 -

I said this on another thread but my grandfather always said that the nutrition was in the crust. Don't know how accurate that is but if you don't like crust maybe you should try some other kinds of bread. It might be fun to experiment.
Do they use different dough for the crust?
is there something about the baking process that makes the crush inherently more "nutritious"??
Have I been baking bread wrong all these years?0 -
Sh.. isn't that serious. Eat the dang bread people. Train hard and it won't matter. People make this way too hard.0

Think of all the calories you'd expend cutting the crust off.1

If the crust weighs 36g and there are 2.27 calories per g then you know how many calories are in the crust... what was the question again?I had two slices of bread, weighing 73g together. When I cut the crust off the crust weighed 36g. So that means the total bread weight leftover was 37g. Is that what I count for calories? Would it be accurate to say the crust has more calories in it since it weighs more?
in this bread 1g= 2.27 calories
The question was if there is more calories in the crust than the rest of the bread and I think there is but not a huge amount and it also depends on who’s making it because sometimes when you buy bread in shops, they put butter on the crust therefore more calories, just not a lot, and plus it’s optional, so if you just make it at home and you don’t put butter on the outside than the calories would be the same as the rest of the bread.

I love a pie. I have wondered about getting a pie, eating the inside then throwing away the pastry. This would save a whole load of calories.
Then I realised my life would be worthless, so on days when I have cycled, walked a lot and had a game of netball I eat a pie. A whole pie (usually chicken and mushroom for anyone who is interested) and my life is just brilliant. No guilt, within goals and a big smile on my face. Nobody should ruin my pie day

The question was also asked 6 years ago.

I'd rather have the crust and cut the bread part out. The crust is the best part IMHO.

This is me actually as I love pasties but dont like pastry that much. I wish I could just buy pasty filling and eat it with a spoon. I particularly hate the crimped edge, which was never meant to be eaten anyway, just thrown to the knockers to keep the bad spirits at bay!1 -
Necro'd, but since other people read this: That's a lot of work to save like 50 calories. Easier to just shave off a scoop of sugar in your coffee than to perform surgery on your food.2

If you like bread enough to fit it into your meal plans, just eat it. You're going to stress yourself out ripping it apart.
Eat it. Enjoy it. Log it. ❤0 -
At least OP was using a food scale six years ago!8

Deleted because I don't want zombies coming to eat my brains. Or my crusts. Or cutting the crusts off my bread and just leaving the crusts.3

Or they might cut the crust off your brain. I hate when that happens. 😬0
