Bread - Least bad for you

212cals pet 100g, same as the White bread above.
The lower calories are mostly down to the fact that it's a much smaller slice as mentioned above. 28g vrs 40g.
If it helps control portion size it's not necessarily a bad thing.
But have 6 "low calorie" slices instead of 4 because they are less/smaller is a waste of time.
Ha, those food companies' marketing departments are devious feckers aren't they!?....
Still in fairness, as you also point out, portion size is a major driver of your calorie intake, so it probably makes sense to reduce slice size to encourage people to eat less by just eating same number of smaller slices. Reducing plate size has been clearly shown to help people reduce how much they eat, so the slice size thing probably works also imho.0 -
I for one am a fan of smaller slices! I am not a big bread eater, and I buy packets of the Slimbos or whatever they're called, pop them in the freezer, and for that one day a week when I want something to go with my eggs or whatever, there's a little low-calorie slice of something, without needing the whole slice. I wish I could buy mini-everythings, the small slices are ideal I think 0

You have to hand it to them, they've got people to pay the slightly more money for 3/4 of a loaf.Ha, those good companies marketing departments are devious feckers....
It's not a new trick either, a few years ago Brennans did a weightwatchers branded bread. Which was basically their normal bread in smaller loafs.0 -

They can change the recipe to lower the WW points, but to still make it taste nice they can end up adding more sugar, which may be low in WW points.
These were the WW points some years ago that I worked out
600kcal portion of coconut is 21.5points
600kcal portion of sugar is 8.5points
rapeseed oil has 14.5WW points per 100ml
coconut oil has 34.5WW points per 100ml
The points calculations have changed since then.0 -
