Complaint about Burgen bread.

[grovesy]

I have recently started to get Morrisons Protien loaf, as I was having weekly visits to my Chiropractor, and Morrisons is near.

So ... what is the bread of choice for us guys then?

Seeded brands for sandwiches, those mentioned before. Use a seeded sourdough bread for boiled eggs, reason being the bread is dense firm and makes good soldiers for dipping.

I use Nimble wholemeal at the moment, small slices but few carbs. 8g a slice. 🙂

Is all this linked to fewer stores now stocking Burgen bread? Our middle of the town medium size Sainsburys have told me they have stopped stocking it and that it is only available from an out of town large store, Iceland stopped several years ago and the out of town Tesco is now regularly charges £1.50 a loaf. So under say 15g per slice seeded bread recommendations needed please at hopefully closer to £1 a loaf.

I dont know my Sainsburys used to sell the small and normal size ones, but stopped selling the smaller one a few months ago. Also dont always have the normal one tend to have a couple in the freezer.

If you do not mind smaller loaves and non seeded, the Nimble wholemeal is 80p and only 8g a slice. Of course it is only a 400g loaf, so you are not really saving much, but it does taste nicer than the Burgen. 😛

I dont like the nimble one.

I've started eating Rye Bread, or rye mix, its about 14g per slice but I figure if only having once slice at a time its no biggy. I love tesco home bake corn bread too, and occasionally I get a loaf of that, can put half in the freezer while you consume the other over 4 or 5 days.

@mikeyB so true. I wouldn’t touch anything with hydrogenated fat aka e471;e472 or mono & diglycerides of fatty acids, I agree totally about not all low carb food being healthy. I’ve got my numbers back in normal range eating minimally processed food that does include a few lentils, squash & veggies Atkins fan would avoid.

Interestingly I've found one of Asda's own seeded sliced breads is E471, E472 and E4??e free (mono and dyglycerides of fatty acids and other hydrogenated fat derivatives).

It's their Extra Special Super Seeded loaf (17g carbs per slice though) - it is still an industrially processed bread - but at least not with those particular ingredients!

Thanks Mike! I have trawled the shops & live close by an Asda so I’ll check it out. Much appreciated 🙂
