What kind of bread do you eat?
I don't eat *much* bread. I might have a slice of toast for breakfast, and maybe a sandwich for lunch. So, the grand total of bread slices I eat in a day would be 4, max. But I do wonder about which bread is "best", you know? I'm trying to up my fibre intake a fair bit (although I know I need to add it slowly) and I'm looking for a bread that is low in points but high in fibre. I'll admit that I'm a white bread addict, but I'm willing to try other kinds.
Can anyone offer recommendations? I'm making up a healthy foods shopping list for payday. *L*
Light breads are crap and don't fill you up. I like whole grain breads. The slices are bigger and I can eat half a sandwich and be full (or 1 slice of toast). Remember you can see actual pieces of the grain in a whole grain bread. Wheat bread is not whole grain.
I usually will only but anything 100% whole wheat. And I agree with quilter, the whole grain kind with the pieces are the most filling and best for you. They are really yummy too!
I used village hearth light italian bread - mostly because it's 40 cals/slice and a point for two slices I believe. 2g fiber/slice - not a lot. I guess I don't eat enough bread to worry about upping my fiber from there.
I don't eat bread often ...not because I avoid it, I just choose meals that don't require it. When I do it is whole grain/fiber which one slice will normally fill me up. Lettuce wrapes are awesome! and if you stuff them with grilled peppers, onion, cabbage, carrot ....hevean!
I'm not on WW, so I don't know if my opinion counts, but I also eat Ezekiel bread if I do eat bread. It's great because it keeps in the freezer. I only eat bread about once a week or once every other week, so it works out for me having it in the freezer. It also makes the best toast!
I also eat Dave's Killer bread, but I think it's more local to my region.
OH how I love white bread, let me count the ways. But I don't eat it. I eat Ezekial sprouted grains. Love it, and like somebody else said, it stores in the freezer, and I just take out a little at a time. It's not soft like regular bread, so freezing doesn't take away from the texture. And I almost always toast it first, anyway. It is much kinder to my insulin resistance - no flour! Plus, the grains take longer to digest, so it keeps me satisfied longer. And the grains are a complete source of protein.
