Here are ways to eat bread if you want to lose weight:
- Sandwich bread: Try to stick with sliced bread of a standard-sandwich size—leave the oversized loaves on the shelf. My rule of thumb: per slice, 100 calories, max, and 3 grams of fiber, minimum.
- Pita bread and wraps: Check the serving size on the Nutrition Facts label. One large wrap may count as two servings.
- Bagels: Scoop out the inside and opt for low-fat fillings and spreads.
- Specialty breads and rolls: French or Italian bread, or hard or soft rolls, shouldn’t be an everyday choice—they’re typically high in calories but light on fiber.
