Bread?

[skywalker45]

And no I'm not talking about money. I'm sure there's a thread about bread on the forum somewhere but I'm too lazy right now to look. So my question is how many of you eat bread? What kind of bread do you eat (brand names)?

I'm asking because I'm trying to shy away from bread because I can't find any without HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). My doc says that HFCS should be avoided if possible but that also it's effects aren't clearly understood. Does anyone else have similar concerns. Every label of bread I've seen contains HFCS!

I could make my own bread but man that would really start to cut into my free time that I have.

100% whole wheat. Country Hearth, I think.

[bodyhard]

100% whole wheat, any brand I find as long as it is 100% whole wheat

[Little_John]

Food for life 7 sprouted grains.
I also try to have 2 cups of brown rice a day, have some on the stove right now.

I've been using Ezekiel 4:9 bread.

"We discovered when these six grains and legumes are sprouted and combined, an amazing thing happens. A complete protein is created that closely parallels the protein found in milk and eggs. In fact, the protein quality is so high, that it is 84.3% as efficient as the highest recognized source of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. There are 18 amino acids present in this unique bread ? from all vegetable sources ? naturally balanced in nature."

Rudi's Organic whole wheat bread (no high fructose corn syrup). During contest prep bread comes out (about 8 weeks out).

NM, Im learning.... mine has hfcs.... okay time for new bread, and chalk another thing up to learning....

Most of the breads From Arnold's are really good! I either get the Double Protein bread, Double fiber, or the Healthy Multi Grain! No HFCS!

I just picked up some bread from whole foods. I forget the name but will get back to you. It has 5 grams of fat, 18 gr carb, 8 gr fiber, and 14 (yes 14) gr protein per 2 slices at 180 calories. I have not tried it yet but plan to tonight with my 2 turkey patties

does it have HFCS in the ingredients (meaning High Frutcose Corn Syrup), just found out my bread has it.. bummer... not sure why but I know its bad...

[goddessamazon]

Ezekiel and 100% stone ground wheat are you best choices.

[GreenWave1]

Whole grain for me.

[rpaul11]

does it have HFCS in the ingredients (meaning High Frutcose Corn Syrup), just found out my bread has it.. bummer... not sure why but I know its bad...

update...the bread was pretty darn tasty. I toasted it and put 2 turkey patty's in between with a lil brown mustard and a couple pickles.

I will buy this again for sure

A bit of HFCS is probably not such a big deal. Depending on what else you eat that has HFCS in it and how much bread, if it only amounts to a few g/day, and you have difficulty finding something better, I wouldn't be overly concerned.

[IR45N]

Found a sub for bread for me a couple months ago; med. size flour tortillias at W-Mart...good for anything; egg, sloppy joe mix, p.butter......whatever. I can tear one in half, spoon some stuff on it and I'm satisfied and didn't use '2 slices' of bread. Don't miss bread at all & maybe it's not related, but finally very near 32W pants size again.

Conclusion - not the biggest deal out there as far as nutrition goes. Don't overly sweat a few g.

[Roger035]

Oroweat whole grain & flax bread with omega-3.

[Hound53]

Sara Lee and another brand I can't think of the name of whole wheat low cal. One is 45 cals a slice the other is 40 cals.

[mikieson]

I try and always buy wheat bread..Dont know what kind or how great it is...Some of its lighter in color and some is darker and richer tasting. I eat LOTS of bread. I cant help it. I eat some white bread as well...I eat bisquits and pancakes and waffles..Im not HUGE on watching everything I eat.

[chodan9]

NAtures own %100 whole wheat. no hfcs no sugar low in carbs but taste really good and stays soft longer then regular white bread. toasts well too.

[ed819]

Sara Lee or Natures Own, 100 % whole wheat.

Your doctor is a smart one .. I find lots of breads without corn syrup or hydrogenated fats(margarine, crisco etc..) corn syrup is a mean MF should be banned along with hydrogenated fat (already banned in NYC restaurants)
I don't know where you live but look for the "organic" section in your supermarket, low fat breads aren't necessarily better.. look at the ingredients
In any case the best thing would be to find a real organic bakery for some delicious sour dough, ww or rye.. beats the mass produced supermarket breads any day

Yep, which is one of the reasons I stopped buying Brownberry 100% whole wheat bread.
I couldn't believe it! 100% whole wheat and then they add HFCS.
Now I give it to my dog.

[libertino85]

Sara Lee Whole Wheat (Honey Wheat).

There was a study done that found that people who eat whole wheat bread have smaller waist sizes that those who do not eat whole wheat bread...

[Tishalicious]

I'm cheating on the bread issue.

I got diagnosed with celiacs two years ago and gulten-free bread is not nice. Cured me of my bread habit pretty quickly.

[Jules Verne]

Cured me of my bread habit pretty quickly.

It amazes me how much of a 'habit' it really is. For people that eat a lot suggest dropping bread from their diet and WHOA! major backlash with lot's of justification for eating it!

Tell someone they should drop canned tuna in favor of steak or fresh salmon - doesn't seem to be such a big deal.

[TulsaCoker]

I agree with Chodan9 Natures Own 100%. Been eating this a while and since reading this thead went and check the packaging. No HFCS and very tasty.
