Low calorie bread alternative

If you're not as concerned about replacing the bread flavor and texture, wrapping in lettuce can work for some sandwich fillings. I prefer sturdier, crunchy lettuces. You can also try wraps, which are sometimes advertised as "low carb" but have just as many calories, so check the label.

@Poobah1972 has a flourless bread recipe that looks really good although I haven't tried it, if you are willing to try baking yourself! I prefer to bake my own too though I use regular bread flour - it's not low calorie, but it's good enough that I'm willing to use the calories on it every once in a while, which is something I really can't say about most store bought bread.

Which country are you in? That may make a difference as to whether any other responses are of use.

I rarely eat bread but, if I do buy it, I get Hovis's Wholemeal, medium slices. I'm in the UK. However, I chose this, after comparing multiple different loaves. It has the lowest cals at 88 per slice vs 103 for Warburton's wholemeal and 188 for Kingsmill's 50/50. I went online and searched for every brand that I was ever likely to buy - and looked at the figures for a 100g serving. Comparing them side by side determined which one I'd be buying in future. You could probably do that whichever country you're in.

Otherwise, my only suggestions for alternatives are to investigate wraps or use lettuce.

I’m in the US, but surely you have some equivalents. We have low carb tortillas here that are 45 calories for a sizable flour tortilla which I use to make wraps. To me, they taste just the same as a “regular” flour tortilla.

Corn tortillas are about 90 calories for two of the smaller sized ones but they tear easily.

There’s some low calorie Lavash type breads in some of our groceries. They make good pizza crusts, too.

We have a commercial bakery here which distribute a brand called Lewis Bakeries “Healthy White” and “Healthy Honey Wheat”, at 35 calories per slice. It tastes like regular bread , just seems to be sliced thinner. I’ve made everything from French toast to sandwiches to grilled cheese with it.

I don’t know what groceries you have access to. Unfortunately, lidl and Aldi are weak in the low cal department here, although Lidl has just started carrying the Carb Smart tortillas. You’d probably need to look at a bigger Tesco or Sainsburys or the equivalent of my Kroger and Publix stores.

Weight watchers has bread that is only 50 calories a slice. The size of the slices are considerably smaller than regular bread but if you want less calories it’s not a bad way to portion control since you just end up having a smaller sandwich.
