You like thick slice of bread?
Typical US bread per slice are 30g more or less..
You eating 3 to 4 slices . 🤷♂️
I believe that user is using 100 grams as a point to compare, not claiming their average serving of bread is 100 grams.
Read the print.. they are comparing per 28g.. a slice
No, I don't believe they are. They're stating the calorie count of their usual bread per 100 grams. That is not the same thing as saying they consider 100 grams to be a serving. The 28 gram statement, I believe, came from someone else completely.
If someone says their bread is x calories per 100 gram, we don't have enough information to conclude about how thick they like their bread sliced. Their typical serving size could be way less than that. Expressing calorie counts per 100 grams is just a quick and easy way to compare nutritional information even if one is regularly eating less or more than that amount.
I agree -- in some other countries it is common to have calories per 100 g on the label. I think the poster said the 647 bread is high cal because she assumed 647 was the number of cals. In fact, this bread has a lot fewer cals per 100 g than she said was typical: 143 cal vs 240.
We know the poster wasn't assuming 100 g per slice, as she said earlier that she typically has 3 slices of bread for 260 cals, and if 100 g has 240 cals, that makes her slices a typical 28 g or so.
Anyway, the 647 bread isn't high cal, and I don't think anyone is assuming typical slices of commercial bread are 100 g.

Anyway, bread isn't super high cal, and if you like bread no reason not to have it with your eggs, OP. I don't like bread that much and so it's a waste of cals for me. When I have over easy eggs, I often have veg on the side or, sometimes, half an avocado--avocado is calorific, but I like the taste and added nutrients (but again I don't care about bread -- if you love it, you should eat it).3

That is what I thought also (that the 647 label was the source of the initial confusion).1 -
Correcting my math -- about 36 g per slice for 260 cals.0

Eat a slice of bread if you really want it and enjoy. Cut out the nuts or oils if you need to cut calories somewhere. (unless you're trying to do keto or low low carb eating plan) Whatever you do, find a way to eat what you love or else your weight loss won't be sustainable or you'll be miserable.2

Like other have said, eat the bread if you enjoy it and it's a nutritional bread (low sugar, low artificial crap, ect). If you don't want to worry about figuring out numbers just up your calories per day by 100 and move on. Your weight loss may be *slightly* slower but you wont have to sacrifice as much. (if you're currently on 1200 per day, can I introduce you with the 1350 per day? It's SO much easier *disclaimer: unless you are under 5' then you should probably consult your doctor or an RD instead of MFP)0

No, I'm really comparing 100gr. But yes, a slice of 28gr is very thin.0 -
For variety, you can do what I did this morning. Bowl of oatmeal sprayed with a little spray butter, then a fried egg on top of the oatmeal and a tablespoon of ketchup. It may sound strange but it's delicious!

This. I live in Finland and I’m not sure if it’s legally mandatory, but I’ve never seen a nutritional label without info per 100g.
OP, I agree with others to just keep the bread and figure out something else if you really need to cut the calories. If you insist on cutting the bread (which, really, is not the enemy despite some saying carbs and bread are), I’d suggest weaning yourself off slowly. Options could include buying bread that isn’t pre-sliced and using thinner slices, or cutting your bread slice in half and only eating a half a slice per morning.2 -

If it is on every product i expect it is a legal requirement - same as it is here in Australia

Brown rice..rice and eggs is awesome. You can make a bunch of rice at once and freeze single servings that reheat in a few seconds.
I have also learned to enjoy oatmeal.0 -
Those are both great, but there's no particular reason to choose them over bread if one loves bread. I really love steel cut oats (more than bread) and especially with a couple of eggs and some veg, but I don't think they are superior calorie wise or nutritionally than some wholegrain bread.2

I eat a Keto bread that is only 30 Cals a slice and only 1 net carb!! And it taste great! So good I feel like i am cheating but I’m not!! It’s hard to find and it’s like 5 dollars a loaf but money well spent!!0

Also I eat a low carb wraps made by mama lupes that is 10 carbs total and 3 net carbs that tastes amazing!! I use them to make pizza or breakfast wraps or grilled wraps they work great and don’t taste diet flavored!!0

Depending on your dietary preferances, you could try low calorie breads, such as Sara Lee Delightful Bread (45 calories), Aldi’s Fit and Active Bread (35 calories), or Nickels Light Bread (35 calories). You could also consider Whole Grain Wasa Crackers (35 calories).0

I don't eat cereal because I don't have milk. Any suggestions, please?
We started having carrot juice with our cereal which have made a big difference - I am lactose so unless I have lactose free milk, its carrot juice
Give it a try, you would be surprised that it really does not make a difference to the cereal0 -

I hate slice bread because I end up eating at least 2-3 slices - love bread
What I do is buy bread rolls and find that having one roll is enough for me - anything to make my life easier

Another low carb and low calories breads are Aldi Zerow carbs, ! net carb breads at Meijer store trader JOe and many others nationwide. Many tortila breads have 1 to 2 total carbs and 30 to 60 cal per serving0
