Low-cal bread that doesn't taste/feel like air!

AZnewme · February 2012

I have been eating a 40 cal per slice variety, but it is so fluffy and soft that a sandwich will fall apart before I am done with it! I would love to find something a little denser. Any suggestions, recipes??

I use the Sarah Lee low cal bread..its 45 cal per slice and it holds up well. I really like it.

Flour is calorie dense by nature, so any low cal ones will be lighter and more airy. I know the Sara Lee bread uses enriched bleached flour as its primary grain, I don't know if that concerns you or not (it does me, but I'm an avid label reader).

If I need something low cal to put sandwich items on, I usually opt for sandwich thins (100 calories for the Whole Foods brand ones) or a flax wrap (made by Garden City, 90 calories).

Lol. I know exactly what u mean. I use Healthy Light Whole wheat bread. 35/slice and holds together.

I also like Healthy Life wheat bread. Its 35 calories per slice and it actually tastes decent.
