Healthiest Bread

Andrew Laeddis

Hi guys

Trying to do some new lunch preparation for the week, and bread and soup will make up 2 of the 5 days.

Anyways I was just wondering what the healthiest/least calorific bread was?

Girl in office suggested McCambridge brown but unsure of this?

Also, guessing Kerrygold/Kerrmaid is the best butter option?

Thanks

McCambridges would be one of the better breads for you. A small amount of real butter would be best too - healthy fats However, would you consider chopping up a chicken fillet and throwing it into the soup instead?

I would happily eat the chicken fillet by itself lol

you could make porridge bread, it tastes great. Get a tub of yoghurt poor into a bowl, fill empty tub with porridge x 2 and mix with yoghurt. Add teaspoon of salt and bread soda. Put the mix into a bread tin and into the oven @180 for 1hour then take it out turn upside down in tin and cook for at least another 10 mins.

Probably not gonna be lower in calories than ordinary bread. Would taste nice though.

Best breads MUST be wholemeal, wholegrain or multi-grain. They're high in fibre, low in fat, they also have significant amount of proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

NOTE., not all brown bread are healthy.

^^ Whole meal bread doesn't have a significant amount of protein. Don;t believe everything Mr Brennan says

CoachDivine

Mellor, get your mind right.

Some certain foods are excellent source macro nutrients..

For instance, salmon, tuna, sardines, beef, chicken, almonds, cheese, eggs, quinoa and milk are all EXCELLENT SOURCE OF PROTEINS, meaning they provide all 9 essential amino acids.

The list goes down in like this, Excellent, Great, Good, Fair, etc..

Whole wheat or Whole meal has this.


Amount Per 100 grams
Calories 247

Protein 13 g 26%


So it has a significant amount of proteins.

Get your mind right.

What's so wrong with mellors mind he needs to fix it twice?

LIDL GI bread is pretty good . Cheap as GI breads go, Around €1.80.GI breads have a slower release of energy.

I don't need the english lesson, I know what significant means.
Typing random numbers means nothing. 13g per 247 calories isn't significant imo, but its also way off the mark too.

McCambridge wholewheat - 7.3g Protein - 225 cals

Get your mind right Coach.

'Healthy' and 'bread' don't belong in the same sentence. This link includes scientific studies which indicate you should cut it out altogether:

Wouldn't the soup be filling enough served solo?

I never feel satisfied after just soup I must admit, crave the bread.

Can these multigrain/whole grain breads be picked up in a spar/centra?

+1 especially with low fat yoghurt.

I've started to add an egg to the mix now as well. Lovely, nutritious and wholesome bread

Definitely calorie dense, even made with zero fat yogurt. Very nice though!

Aldi Low GI bread isn't too far off their Farmhouse multiseed loaf in terms of taste either. My local centra has similar options, but a good bit more expensive than the Aldi/ Ballymore Crust ones.

For soup, I've got used to have a few ryvita style crisp breads.

Avoid any bread with yeast in it....or anything contain yeast for that matter. Irish brown soda bread (if you have to eat bread)


*this is my opinion, which I'm entitled to

Andrew Laeddis

So will I go with McCambridge or does anyone want to give me an actual brand to pick up?

Thanks

Any stoneground - not much between them in taste or ingredients imo!

Yeah this is definitely the best option. You can use wholegrain organic porridge too. The yoghurt will give some protein and can also add anything you want like seeds, nuts, cinnamon etc. mix it up a little and this would definitely be one of the healthiest options if you need to eat bread.

I tend to try and avoid bread altogether, apart from porridge bread post training as a source of carbohydrates to help recovery.

Wheat is the biggest source of gluten in the diet. New studies are showing that a significant percentage of the population may be sensitive to it

^^ Nope!

I find Brennans white bread to be the best. Need to eat like 8 slices though. A bowl or three of kelloggs crunchy nut is a good alternative to soup and bread.
