How Much Bread Do You Eat A Day

[bellazella]

I sometimes have none, then other days to much, i know weight wise its bad for me, and causes bloating, what about you

Although I eat very little bread these days, I am partial to the odd sandwich or slice of toast if I have a boiled eggy for brekky. It has been considered since time immemorial as the staff of life, yet one thing has always puzzled me. Just who thought up the idea in the first place? At some point in prehistoric times someone must have been passing by a field, noticed the crop and said to himself, "That looks interesting. I reckon that if I let that crop grow a little taller I will be able to cut it down, take off the spiky bits at the top then give it to my wives and daughters to extract the hard bits, grind it to a fine powder, mix it with water and stick it in the oven. next day I shall eat well."

We eat very little bread. During the week, OH half none, me one or two slices of toast a week.

At the weekends we'll maybe buy a small loaf for a sandwich each and end up throwing it away later in the week.

I used to eat more but have given it up as it is bloating and have replaced it with an occasional crispbread or wrap.

4 - 6 slices of Hovis medium sliced, preferably with real butter(but only if the wife's not watching).

Pitta bread, naan bread, white bread, wholemeal bread, brown bread, etc.

[ummmm]

Don't Mike....you'll start me off wondering how the TV works, again!!

I LOVE bread, but it makes me bloated, too. I sometimes have a wrap for lunch instead of bread. We often like to have garlic baguettes with dinner, or a tesco flatbread, so the next day I will have my wrap instead of a bread sarnie. Once in a while I totally abstain from bread products and I lose weight almost within a day. The bloating was even worse when we made our own bread with the breadmaker..I guess it's a good thing that it's broken now!

Usually 2 slices of wholemeal...either as toast in a morning or as sandwich at
lunch, or something on toast if I've had porridge at breakfast.

I basically live on bread , I go for days at a time eating nothing but sandwiches.

[venator]

We bake our own white bread and eat about 4 loaves a week. The flour is stoneground, additive free from Shipton Mill or Bacheldre watermill.

I bake rye and wholemeal breads, and sell it to friends. The baking probably does me as much good as the bread!

"I basically live on bread , I go for days at a time eating nothing but sandwiches."

I think the bit in the middle might might figure here also Eddie?

[mayviabelle]

I'm on slimming world, so I have bread once a week after weigh in! You can have it on SW, but I do so much better when I don't!

[EDDIE51]

I suppose I eat most of a large loaf per day. 12 slices so far today plus 1/2 french stick and a 'submarine deli roll . No I'm not overweight 12 stone and 5 ft 5in.
What happened to the old advet '6 slices a day is the well balenced way' ?

I could live on crusty bread, granary, etc as I adore bread, but can't for two reasons - I have a strange digestive system which does not take kindly to bread, and I find I only have to get the bread knife out of the drawer and I put pounds of weight on!!!:(
Talking of crusty bread - have you tried Tescos long crusty baguettes with salt and cracked black pepper crust - they are the scrummiest things on this earth, eaten with lashings of butter. We have one very very occasionally as a treat followed by lots of indigestion tablets!!

[mike11111]

It was actually 5 slices a day and, like all such promotions, is seriously out of favour with those who would dictate our dietary habits based upon the flimsiest of evidence. There must still be a few left on this site who can remember;"Go to work on an egg" and "Drinka pinta milka day", not to mention: "Mackeson's, looks good, tastes good and by jolly it does you good".

[Arksided]

On average a loaf will last me about ten days, I buy fresh freeze two thirds, and thaw each third as and when.

I have being known though to have had in a day, Toast in morning, beef Baguette thing for lunch, Burger for tea (dinner) cheese sandwich late snack, and egg'n'bacon butty for supper. Sometimes I don't eat it for weeks.

[owdhamer]

cant resist a crusty french stick

[chi-chi66]

Remember them well Mike....I used to love the crusty bread with loads of 'real'
butter, but it's like knives cutting my gums now, so stick to sliced :-(

[sheranudeep]

Only when I have nothing else to eat .

[daffy654]

More than I should, I am trying to cut it out but I love my wholemeal toast as a snack.

[maggiebee]

Far more than is good for me. If I don't buy it, can't be tempted but if it's in the breadbin I'm a toast addict.
