    if you're eating 6 slices of bread, the salt content is the last thing you should be worrying about

    I ate 6 pieces of bread one time. I felt like I was pregnant from the dough ball.

    as a teenager, I once ate an entire loaf of bread in one sitting as an after school snack once while watching my after school shows. Plain.... Yes. For real. And, yes, I still ate dinner when it was ready and my mom was pretty peeved that I wasted an entire loaf of bread by myself...

    Hi. I'm Tiffany, and I'm a carboholic. I've definitely smashed more than 6 slices of bread in one sitting on numerous occasions, which is why I do not keep bread in my house. Call me crazy; just being honest :wink:

    MFP. I came for the calorie tracker, I stayed for the sound salt intake advice

    My mom didn't believe me, but I did weird crap like that all the time. I'm thinking I was half too lazy to put anything ON the bread, but I also really just like bread. I wouldn't do that now, as an adult, but didn't care back then.

    Really!? omg... glad I don't eat them.. I'd always thought they were healtier.

    I don't eat crisps, and have pretty much given up bread, but have never eaten 6 slices in one sitting... half a cheesecake yes but not 6 slices of bread! lol

    We all have our 'old habits' but it's our new ones that matter the most.

    Keep up the great work!

    I make my own bread - a pinch of salt is all i ever add (ok, i do boil bagels in saltwater before baking).
    problem with fresh bread is that it's way too easy to eat.
    my concern would lie with the salted butter before the bread any day....

    6 slices of bread is not as much as people are making it out to be. That's about 300 calories with the kind of whole wheat bread I eat.

    What about eating a whole box of oatmeal cream pies while in a deer stand for 8 hr. Lol. That's got to be way worse than 6pcs of bread

    Yup, thats why cardiac patients dont get bread. It sucks. You'll have the sweetest little old man recovering from an MI and all he wants is toast with raspberry jam for breakfast and you have to be the ***** and tell him no.

    she watched a uk tv programme where people had to guess how many packets of crisps (salted) there in in different foods
    6 slices of bread
    sushi
    ready meal
    something else I cant remember

    and they all had the 5 packs of crisp salt level

    i can easily eat five pastries in one sitting and not feel full......i try to only do this around once or twice per month now though... ^^

    my point is, 6 slices of bread is a cinch.

    I eat bread every day. Trying not to. I too am a carboholic!:embarassed:

    Before MFP I used to eat half of french baguette by myself. And I still ate lots of other stuff besides that. MFP made me realise just HOW MUCH bread I ate! And I stopped.

    When I found out how "bad" bagels are for you, I cried a little inside.. I love bagels, it's one of the hardest things I have had to cut back on. Especially Dunkin Donuts bagels.. :sad:
