Bread - Yay or Nay ?

[Aussieguy101]

Just wondering if you guys have bread in your cutting diet at all ?

[eladophir]

I was not aware that bread was magically cursed by the carb fairy... what kind of question is this? Assuming you are talking about regular type bread (cause there are 500 of them these days) its wheat, just like eating wheat pasta.

[Brklyns_Finest]

I make sure to not eat anything I enjoy during my cut, to make it as difficult on myself as possible, that way I end up binging due to craving overload.

[motagraff]

yep. 2 slices in the morning. Unless your having it as pre or post training meal make sure its wholemeal, preferably a grain wholemeal. Look on the packet for the percentage of wholemeal flour in it, you want at least 60 percent wholemeal flour, or just ask your baker what percentage wholemeal it is. Nothing beats eggs on toast!

I usually try to avoid bread as I feel bloated from it.

Shhh you flop..60% wholemeal whered you magically pull that figure from?

OP disregard what this guy has said eat any type of bread you like and make sure you fit it into your daily macros.

[Winfamy]

I fit 8-10 slices of bread a day when cutting and I end up losing weight T_T totally getting rid of them.

Sometimes but it's dense in calories so I'd rather use something lower in cals that I can have more of.

BRB....peeling the crust off my bread slices.

I avoid bread/wheat and feel healthier because of it. Doing well with my lifting too. A sight I enjoy about eating wheat free for health information and recipes is Wheatbelly. Saw a post the other day for biscuits and gravy. Figure I'll have to give it a try someday.

If you are trying to cut then obviously ditch the bread

Reps to the bagel crew...but besides bagels I don't really like bread and haven't for some years now.

[Iusedtobefat99]

obviously

It's not rocket science

[Brklyns_Finest]

It's not rocket science

apparently to you it is if you think bread (or any given food item) is the devil on a cut

[velotique]

^This. As a (smaller) woman, I find that once I hit my protein & fat macros, I have a limited amount of carbs to fill the rest of my caloric needs. So I will go for stuff that is less calorie dense, and more filling. But on re-feed days, oh yeah - bring on the bread & bagels!

I really enjoy P28 bread, I have some everyday. It's a high protein bread with 28 grams of protein in one bagel or two slices of bread. Any bread is ok as long as you stay within your calorie limit but the P28 bread makes hitting my macros easier.

That sounds like the best thing ever invented. Any idea if it is available in the UK? Is it expensive?

Well I have a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology so ya I tend to know a bit more about it than broscience dudes

One would think that was the case but apparently not.

It's expensive if you look at it just as bread but if you think of it as a protein supplement its not bad at all. Plus if it helps fulfill a craving while on a cut and till be good for you it's worth every penny. Not sure about availability in the UK, it ships out of New Jersey to me so I'm not sure. All I know is I love starting my day with either a pb&j or an egg sandwhich.

Clearly you have a well-respected opinion on here based on your great reputation.

I cant even tell who is trolling anymore.

I'd be interested to hear the reasoning behind this statement

I second this.

[BodyOfLaw]

I haven't exactly cut bread out of my diet but I pay attention to my calories and macros. This typically means I make sandwiches with one piece of bread instead of two and the like. I use the "double fiber" bread and like it just fine.
