I'm trying to get back on track with my diet. I always feel guilty eating any kind of bread. I never eat white bread, I try to do 100% whole wheat, or weight watchers or something like that. Right now I am using Wrap-Itz whole wheat wraps.They are 120 calories, 2.5 fat, 20 carbs, 1 sugar, and 3 g protein. First ingredient is stone ground 100% whole wheat.
What bread do you recommend? Are there any of you who do not eat bread? I am not trying to go low carb. I eat brown rice and whole wheat pasta, as well as cous cous and other grains. I have been hearing a lot of conflicting research that says bread should not be used a lot. What are your opinions and advice? Thanks!

    I've always wanted to try this - I'm going to make a point to look for it at the store this weekend.

    I use Arnold sandwich thins - multi grain. The only NI I can recall right now is that they are 100 calories.

    My opinion is that I eat regular (not WW or 'diet') bread when I feel like it, and I make it fit in my macros and calories for the day. There is very little difference between whole grain breads and white breads, so eat what you prefer.

    Fresh baked bread from a bakery, the actual type depends on the application ie sandwich, toast, garlic bread, bread pudding etc

    Although I eat no grains I consider all bread - even whole grain - far removed from unrefined grains. That was the first thing I removed from my diet when I headed down the road of "no grain". It is still processed flour that has had everything except the calories removed and then vitamins/minerals added back in.

    Not to mention all the other stuff that comes with the flour. And all the "stuff" that comes with the entire grain.

    I use Sara Lee 45 Calories and Delightful bread. It is only 45 calories a slice and pretty good stuff.

    Why did you decide to remove grains? As far as bread, white or wheat or whatever else, I really feel like that is a main cause for my weight gain. I always feel bloated after eating it, and after eating a packed lunch of sandwiches for a week or 2, I gain weight- even if I am in my calorie guidelines. One of my friends uses lettuce in place of bread, so she always has a rolled sandwich. Thinking about going that route...
