Kingsmill crustless - 43 cals low carb!

[Mrs Mimoo]

A new find. it's low cal and 8g carbs per slice. Cheaper than livlife and actually taskes like bread. I am allowed one slice a day and I make it count.
Best to you all, Mrs M@lou

I might give this a try?

Sounds good, where did you buy it from ?

Ooh, I could have 2 slices of soldiers with my Saturday boiled eggs. What a find, thank you!

 

[Felinia]

Thank you for this. Just added it to tomorrow's delivery.

I have just picked one up from Sainsburys

Warburtons wholemeal medium no added sugar is also good too, if you get the loaf with the slightly smaller slices - 9g per slice! Not quite as good as your find @Mrs Mimoo but a close second perhaps!

 

[Mrs Mimoo]

its only 8g of carbs a slice so if you patch that in to your carb plan it could help and it's..... actual bread!

Mr Tesco. it's the 50 50 brown and white one.

The reason it’s low carb is because they’ve reduced the portion size by making it a small size and cutting off the crusts. Per 100g, the kingsmill no crusts 400g loaf has 38.5g carbs. That’s identical to the carbs per 100g in the kingsmill Wholemeal 800g loaf.

The only difference is a slice of the 400g no crusts bread weighs 22g and a slice of the 800g wholegrain weighs 39g, and the wholegrain has 50% more fibre. The no crusts one in my Tesco is £1.75 for 400g whereas Wholegrain is £1.10 for 800g too, so no crusts costs 3 times as much.

So if on a budget, swap no crusts bread for wholegrain and halve the number of slices or cut off crusts yourself to get exactly the same quantity of bread, exactly the same carbs, and 50% more fibre.

We have been having homemade bread for years and I am away this week and realise just how tasteless the brown sliced bread served actually is.
Of bought bread the seeded bread is the most tasty.
I have to make the carbs I have worth it for flavour.

 

[Martin62]

Well I tried it for a week, I found it rather bland and tasteless, so won't be getting it again .

That's about the standard, I'm on the Lidl low GI loaf, at around 36g per 100g.
Cut as much of as little as you like.

Well my other half brought a white one home today, I am not even going to give it a try. It feels like cheap white bread and the slices are not full . To me it is bit of con. Good job he also got my usal Burgen.

 

[Lucyr]

I just get Tescos own 36p brown bread as on a budget. It’s 36g carb per 100g so the same as all the standard breads, but slices are fairly thin so only 13g per slice and they’re full size slices as it’s a standard loaf not a mini one.

 

[Lisa66]

May I put in a word for Allinson’s Scandalous Seeds bread? 29.something per 100g…so works out 13g a slice…good sized slices, not thin and toasts nicely. Not the cheapest though.

I find to me it doesn't really matter how many carbs are in a slice of bread - its how many slices you eat. Also if you count it in your daily amount of carbs consumed, you should be fine? I have warburtons Wholemeal from Aldi and its delicious for a sandwiches or toast 🙂

 

[grovesy]

Well for you might work, but differn people seem to have differnt tolerances to differnt brands.

Yes, true
