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

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).

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

    Why not use regular bread and cut the extra 100 calories out somewhere else?

    Dave's Killer Bread Light. It's amazing and dense! Mainly can only get it on the West Coast, unless you ordered it online.
