hi all i just wondered if anybody new of any subtitiutes or low cal version of bread, unfortunatly this is my downfall but i love bread but it bumps the cals right up, even things like bagels or pita bread have over 150 kcals, i know i will be told i should refrain from carbs but i have tried going a day without it and i cant. thanks :smile:

    i cant seem to find anything close to the taste of a decent loaf of bread unless i make my own, so i just cut down on eating it and replace that carb with porridge for breakfast of a potato for lunch or rice for dinner.

    once in a while its not bad for you. if you tell yourself to not eat it then youll only want it more. everything in moderation. x

    I really like the light rye wasa crackers. Really bread is just a vessel for the toppings, so subbing in the crackers allows me to have those toppings! (I used to be all about bread... but I have given it up for the most part, except in french toast, as I really can't trust myself with it!)

    Hi, if your in the UK then hovis nimble is great. Whole meal option is 51 cals pr slice and although they're smaller slices than usual I find having two slices with two eggs in the morning a couple of times a week is great- and that brekkie is only 250 cals!

    I eat a fair amount of bread due to time and budget restraints! Today i had PB on toast and will have a sandwhich at work but i usually try to have bread for just one meal a day and choose a different type of carb for other meals!
    I eat wholegrean with seeded bits, about 100cals a slice! I guess you just have to decide whether you can work something else out or live with the cal content. Thats what im having to do for now!

    I find substitutes unsatisfying. I don't eat much bread as I find it makes me sluggish, bloated and i get a craving for more later in the day, but when I do eat it I tend to have home made.

    For lunches (where in the past I might have a sandwich) I normally have Ryvita instead of the bread.

    I have to agree with this, nimble is great, although I have problems losing half of it when trying to put spread on after toasting it's still a great alternative. I also don't think it's as thin as it used to be.

    Get fresh bread MEDIUM SLICED : almost all bread is Thick sliced, 110-120 cals. Medium slice is only 80-90 cals a slice and is perfect for all your breaddy needs. Also, you get more slices per loaf. Bargain!

    Nature's Own 40 calories a slice in wheat or white is good.
