How much bread have you eaten today?

I had one slice of toast for breakfast, one focaccia roll for lunch and another slice of toast with my tea.

I am wondering if many people eat as much bread as that on an average day. I’m not sure it agrees with me these days!

I try to limit myself to 2 wholemeal and seeded slices a day, but today I've had 4.

When I'm trying to drop a few pounds, I cut it out completely.

topcat2014 · 03/03/2023 20:19

We make bread in the machine. I probably have 2 to 4 slice per day

HamstersAreMyLife · 03/03/2023 20:20

I've not had any, trying to cut down to lose weight and I'm starting to see a link between eating bread and bloating ... can't imagine never eating it though so hoping as I lose weight the bloating will feel less of an issue.

jjeoreo · 03/03/2023 20:21

I'd say normally 2 slices. I love bread. When I stopped being weird about my weight it was the first thing I brought back.

Approx half a little baguette toasted with butter when I got in from work. That is 100% more bread than I eat on most days and my stomach hurts! But I was ravenous!

Normally go days without it... Not because I am low carb or anything but I just never fancy sandwiches for lunch and wouldn't choose it for breakfast either. And whenever I eat it I always regret it because "ouch"!

WalkAwaySugarbear · 03/03/2023 20:21

I absolutely love bread but I do have to cut down my consumption otherwise it makes me bloated.

Today I've had a bagel and 2 breadsticks.

Tacocatgoatcheesepizza · 03/03/2023 20:21

Today none, but most days at least 2 plus a bagel. Some days I’ll realise in horror that I have had 6-8 slices 😳

Sweetladyjane · 03/03/2023 20:22

I haven’t had any today but I’ll have two toasted slices of seeded bread a couple of times a week with scrambled eggs for breakfast.

CheeseDreamsTonight · 03/03/2023 20:22

I had a crumpet for breakfast so sort of bread. That's it.

PritiPatelsMaker · 03/03/2023 20:22

2 slices of cheap white bread. It's the only one DD will eat 🤦‍♀️

MamOfFive · 03/03/2023 20:22

None, I can't eat bread.

Travelationjubilation · 03/03/2023 20:23

I haven’t had any since last august. I love it and buy it for the kids but I’ve given up and miss it so much but it makes me feel ill and put on weight

WinterMusings · 03/03/2023 20:23

None. I low carb, so had to cut it out.

I miss it so much though. So versatile & enablin!!

BitOutOfPractice · 03/03/2023 20:23

I’ve had a small wholemeal roll.

bellac11 · 03/03/2023 20:24

I gave up bread (mostly) quite some time ago. Makes me feel achy and hurts my joints

neverendinglauaundry · 03/03/2023 20:24

Today just one pitta.
Other days up to 6 slices.
I also eat potatoes every day 😱

Ineedwinenow · 03/03/2023 20:25

4 slices of cheap white here! (Toast for breakfast and then a sandwich at lunch) Can’t stand seeded or wholemeal unfortunately 🤦‍♀️

JMAngel1 · 03/03/2023 20:26

None - been doing low carb keto for 2 weeks and I feel so much better for it. More energy, better mood, more focused and I've lost some of my Xmas tummy.

lissie123 · 03/03/2023 20:27

I limit bread to one slice of sourdough a day. Sometimes I get bored with that l raid the croissants.

Mum2jenny · 03/03/2023 20:28

None, don’t really like bread. I eat maybe 1-2 slices per week.

Cupofteaaa5 · 03/03/2023 20:29

2 slices for lunch, and half a naan bread with dinner

Aquarius1234 · 03/03/2023 20:29

90% eat bread for lunch. Baguette or pitta s or rolls..white or brown..
Would like an alternative sometimes.

DelurkingAJ · 03/03/2023 20:30

My favourite food is good bread and butter. I have had a bagel at breakfast, another at lunch (they’re getting old so need eating) and a slice of seeded brown toast a tea time. Yum!

Phos · 03/03/2023 20:32

2 slices of toast for breakfast.

HurryShadow · 03/03/2023 20:33

Two slices of warburtons toastie white for breakfast (toasted with marmite) for breakfast and 3 (don't judge me - I've got Covid!) warburtons crumpets (toasted with marmite!) for lunch.
