Trader Joe's Low Calorie Bread

Looking for bread with only 40 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and just one gram of sugar? Trader Joe's has got your back. Introducing Trader Joe's Low Calorie Bread. The nutritional information is terrific and so is the ingredient list.


Now... how does it taste? Light and moist. Paired with peanut butter and you won't be able to tell the difference. Because it has no preservatives, it becomes molded VERY quickly so watch out for that. The size is smaller than your usual bread. All and all, I would say this is a great snack item. You can have bread and a spread without sacrificing 300 +  calories.


Nutrition information: 40 calories, 5 grams of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, 3 grams of protein, 120 mg of sodium

Martin's Whole Wheat Bread

I LOVE Martin's Whole Wheat Bread. It is fluffy and has a nice potato bread flavor. The nice thing about this bread is that it provides 4 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein, and only four grams of sugar. It has a really good fiber-to-calorie ratio with only 70 calories for 4 grams of fiber.

It tastes especially good with a spread like peanut butter or jam, but I would even eat this by itself. I just love the taste of potato bread.

Wasa Crisp'n Light 7 Grain

Another bread substitute review for today. I discovered Wasa Crisp'n Light 7 Grain a couple of months ago and have been hooked. It is only 20 calories per 1 slice! So it is a great snack with peanut butter or jam. I can put a little bit of peanut butter on this cracker and clock in at much less than even 100 calories. The taste is pretty bland by itself and I do not recommend it without a spread. But it is great with a spread and saves you the 100-200 calories of bread. The nutritional information is great too so it is a win-win. 

Nutritional information (per 3 slices): 60 calories, 2 grams of fiber, 13 grams of carbs, <1 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein, 95 mg of sodium

GG Bran Crispbread

Ever want the extra fiber, without the extra calories? Introducing GG Bran Crispbread. This provides 5 grams of fiber with only 12 calories. Yes, I said it. 12 CALORIES! Now, how does it taste? Honestly, by itself it is very thick and dry. You definitely need some water to gulp this down. The best thing to eat this with is a jam because the moisture of the jam compensates for the dryness. With jam, it is actually quite tasty!


There are only three ingredients: 85% unprocessed wheat bran, rye flour, and salt. And with 5 grams of fiber, you are kept really full! This is a non-guilt product and everybody should have it in their kitchen. Just remember not to have TOO many.. 5 grams of fiber adds up.

This is usually found in health food stores, not regular grocery stores. Although, I found this product browsing through Wegmans one day.
