I'm looking for a low cal bread/wrap or cracker to make my sandwiches. I usually use flat out wraps, but looking at the ingredient list makes me think twice. Any suggestions for more natural alternatives?

    Have you thought about making your own bread? I want to do this as I know many people who have their own bread makers. You can control what ingredients go into it.

    i don't know of any low cal breads as I try to limit my bread intake.

    I don't know the ingredient list but 35 calorie wheat bread is what I always use. Can't beat 70 cal for two slices of bread

    I don't go low cal for bread - really there doesn't seem much point in eating something that has so little nutrition, you may as well just have a salad without the bread.
    I would rather have one piece of bread that is crammed with whole grains/seeds/nuts etc so I kinow I am actually getting some nutrition from it, rather than 2 pieces of a bland salad holder with no nutrition.

    But hey, that's just my opinion!

    Light whole wheat bread is usually between 40 to 45 calories a slice or just replace the bread with lettuce, or scope out the inside of the bread.

    Joseph's Lavash Bread. I can usually find it at Walmart. An entire flatbread is about 100 cals and makes a HUGE wrap. Sometimes I only use half for a smaller snack wrap.

    You'd be surprised how easy it is to make your own tortillas, if you're concerned about the ingredients. :smile:


    Personally I do like the Dempster's 10" whole wheat tortillas - they're just the right size to wrap around a few slices of meat and a small handful of greens. But the ingredients list... well, yeah. It isn't exactly "natural".

    If you can find it, Silver Hills Bakery makes a lower-calorie sprouted grain bread. I love their breads. http://www.silverhillsbakery.ca/products/sprouted-bread/little-big-bread

    Joseph's has several products that are low cal, lots of fiber & low net carbs. I love them. With the fiber they are very filling.

    What type of bread do u eat that's so nutritional? Healthy life high fiber wheat bread for 2 slices is 70 calories 5 g fiber 5 gram protein. For example Sara lee hearty wheat has 100 cal a slice and 4g fiber 5 g of protein. I'll take the two slices and save the 30 cal

    I also use a 35 cal. bread. I have tried both Healthy Life and Heiner's and prefer the Heiner's. I also enjoy making my sandwiches as wraps in large Romaine Lettuce leafs and using a Walden Farms blue cheese dressing with it.... YUM! Hardly any calories that way and eat until you're full! :)

    I use the Orowheat sandwich thins and I really love them. 100 calories and make a great sandwich...I toast them, put Waldens French dressing on it (0 calories), spicy sprouts and a grilled chicken breast. FANTASTIC meal! Here is a pic on my Pinterest

    I also sometimes put a teaspoon of Cotilla cheese on the chicken when I heat it in the micro (about 20 extra delicious calories).
