Has anyone ever tried spelt or kamut bread? They're really filling because they're more dense than normal bread and are both 100% whole grain. You can find these breads at health food stores. They have lots of fiber and are very tasty ;)

I like Orowheat's health nut bread too. I usually have 1 or 2 slices a day (1 for breakfast toast and maybe one for dinner).

I am a breadaholic so I just eat whatever we have. It's all good. I just look at the serving size and see how many calories. I definitely dont count carbs xD

Curious myself. Cause I wonder how one could ever have a sandwich. ;)

I don't eat bread every day myself. But somedays I might have a sandwich with a couple slices and some days I might just have a piece of toast with breakfast for something different. So it's normally 1 to 2 slices, but likely about 4 days a week.

I don't look at carbs, calories or fat when I pick bread. My bread criteria:

* At least 4 grams of fiber per slice, 5 preferred.
* Must be some form of whole grain.

I don't eat a lot of bread (never as a side for dinner anymore, I used to eat tons of bread with pasta dishes). I do like toast (especially with natural peanut butter for breakfast) and sandwiches for lunch (especially turkey with spicy mustard, spinach leaves, tomato and onion. Sometimes, when I'm stressed or late coming home from work, a turky sandwich or peanut butter toast makes a healthy/easy to make dinner option too.

My current favorite is a sprouted, no-flour, 20 grain bread, but I can't remember the name of it!

I don't either. I do Ilene's pancake instead. I mix three egg whites with 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 'fry' it in a nonstick pan. Sometimes I have two a day.

That sounds really interesting Susan. I don't like oatmeal (I'm a texture kinda person) but I love oatmeal cookies. Does it end up with that kind of consistency? I would expect a little flatter, for lack of a better word, but similar. Do you use instant or the cook it a lot kind? Throw in some cinnamon and it sounds quite good.

srmb60 08-10-2005 06:18 PM

I'm not sure, Julia, I think it's one or three minute ... ya know ... Quaker probably. If you let it sit in the food processer for a few minutes before you cook it, it has a less oatmealy texture. But yes, it is kind of like a cookie. Cinnamon is fabulous and then you can dip it in applesauce, yummy!
I dip it in yogurt or spread cottage cheese on it .... just almost anything because it doesn't have much taste of it's own.
And you can thank Ilene cuz I got the idea from her.

We have been eating Nature's Own brand Healthline bread. 40 calories per slice, 5g fiber and 1 g fat. It has whole wheat and corn flour plus it has soy flour in it and I have to sneak that in anyway I can because I dislike almost all soy products.

Lizzyg 08-10-2005 09:08 PM

I just usually get what ever wheat/multi grain bread is on sale for the week. I like the Aunt Millie's brand.

The healthy fiber for life type buns have I think 5 grams of fiber per bun, and if you are on WW, are only one point.

We buy Sara Lee delightful wheat. My kids will eat it, which is a MUST with foods like bread.

Bad bread.... I have to have white bread for toast, nothing else is good! although brown bread toasted is okay for putting eggs or beans on....

Brown always for salad, or sarnies.... and I really like bread with grains in! :dizzy:

TX God on Kitty! I thought that I am the only one eating bread here!
I dont think it's healty really because of the stuff they put in it to become big.
It's really hard to explain when I dont speak English :)

Black - I meen whole grain :)

I know I should cut it back, but just cant help it now. I do notice that I eat it less then before....

Great question! and a lot of good answers! I don;t eat bread often anymore. I buy "Barowsky" sandwich rolls which are suggested by WW. Great size, great value and only 2 points a roll. That's my kind of Sandwich! Great for lean meat burgers as well - I do Salmon burgers, ground chicken burgers and once in awhile a top grade sirloin burger.
