I love wholemeal bread -but we are dieting and apparently breads a no no....Can anyone suggest anything that resembles it? Or is that a stupid question?
Yes it's a stupid question. Bread or anything else isn't a no-no if you're on a diet - it's the total number of calories that counts compared with the amount of calories you burn in a day. Simple but true.
Crispbreads or rice cakes are a good alternative, but like suechu said, the big problem with bread, crispbreads or rice cakes is what you put on them. If you smother them with butter, then that defeats the purpose. I would have thought that wholemeal bread with just a smear of low calorie spread would be fine.
You can buy Wrights bread to make in most super markets. if you look on their site it gives you an idea what the calorie content etc is. They make many different flavours and they are just as good made into small bread rolls!
Have a look.
Thank you to all! I have thought about making our own- and, in fact done so about a year ago only to be slightly disappointed at the dominant taste of the 'built-in' yeast.....however I will give some of your site links a try....thanks again!
