Default Light Bread

Hi Everyone

I switched from using regular whole grain bread to light because it has fewer points. I've been trying to find light hamburger and hotdog buns, english muffins, and bagels but have had no luck! Anyone else having this issue?

I buy Giant/Stop&Shop brand light bagels and they are delicious! Taste just like regular bagels (although, to be fair, they are slightly smaller).

Same problem. I can't find decent sandwich thins, lighter wraps, breads, etc. I would also love to be able to find shirataki noodles.

I normally just eat whole wheat english muffins for 3 pts.

Where do you live?
I lived in upstate New York and Wegmans had light hot dog and hamburger buns which were 70 calories. Their bread was 35 calories per slice.
Now I live in Ohio and I can find buns and bread at Kroger.

What is light bread? Bread is made from flour, yeast, water and salt. What is in light bread that makes it light? This has always confused me... Do they add some sort of non-caloric filler? make it airier?

I find that the light bread that they sell in our local Market Baskets are somewhat smaller in size than normal bread and thinner than regular full calorie bread. Also, it's only 35 calories per slice.

Anyone ever try Arnold's Sandwich Thins? On they old plan they were 1 point, but now they're up to 3. They look like really thin hamburger rolls and are quite tasty. They come in a few different flavors, too. They're my bread staple.

Costco sells huge packs, and I just freeze them.

I live in Michigan (metro Detroit) also. I've been to many Krogers, and they have light Kroger hamburger and hot dog buns.

I also like Arnold bread thins.

WW's makes light english muffins. Also, the Thomas 100 cal english muffins are pretty light too.
