okay so how come when you choose a slice of bread on fitday.com it says 60 calories and when you leave the crust out it says 30. i mean the crust isn't half of what's in the bread or is it? or are most of the calories in the crust?

just me,

A guess is that the crust is much more dense than an inflated piece of white bread interior. Also the baking removes most of the water (zero calories) from the crust so gram for gram there's more "food" left.
God knows what they interpret as an average cutting skill when decrusting...I'm sure some people whack off a half inch but a chef with a super sharp knife loses only a couple millimeters!

ah, this is nice... i don't even like the crust. i always ate it cause my mom forces me. thinks it's a waste... 'think of all those people in africa who are starving to death...', so not allowed to throw food away. well in this case, i disagree.

For what it's worth, I've never found fitday to be correct when it comes to the number of calories in bread. I compare the fitday count to the package, and fitday is usually wrong by as much as half! I've never found a good, multi-grain bread at the grocery with less than 100-120 calories per slice.

really? but my slices are really thin.

I recommend that you create your own custom entries on any tracking system. The pre-entered data is typically inaccurate and often not specific to your brand or portion size. Use your own food labels in conjuction with a good kitchen scale.

Regarding the bread - its got to be a weight issue, certainly the ingredients are not different in the crust. I would weigh your bread after you remove the crust and recalculate the nutritional data based on the actual weight of the peice your are eating. Food labels usually contain a weight for portion size (usually in grams) so it may help to have a scale that displays both grams and ounces.

Its very hard to find, but "Arnold Bakery Lite 7-grain" bread is VERY good. Its 40 calories, 9 carbs, and 2.5 grams of fiber per slice. And the slices are not that small. They have other flavors but none are as good as this one. And this is NOT the same as their carb-counter bread which IMO is awful tasting. Sometimes I have to go out of town just to find a store that has this specific kind... then I buy 10 loaves and keep it in the freezer.

Does it have grains and stuff baked into it? I love breads that have whole seeds and grains in them. I feel like a horse, chomping away at the seeds. I'll have to keep my eye out the next time I go to the grocery.

It does have the grains and seeds in it, but certainly not as much as a non-lite bread would. But it does taste good... and it is definately heartier than a lite white bread.

im guessing they only sell it in the usa? most of the foods i have costumized, but the type of bread i buy doesn't have a label on it with the nutritient values so... as for chicken etc.

Its hard when youdon't have food labels... there are many websites that are quite helpful with nutritional data. There is one hosted by the USDA that is quite good, and another by calorieking. Both sites include data for brands and generic foods. Can't post the links, but if you look hard you will find them :D

Oh yes, USDA, I heard that one before. Thanks, I'll check into that... Thanks man!!! :D
