Personally, much as I love Marmite, i think these are horrible, but I so want them to be nice. I keep buying them but they dont get any better:(
 
I'm sure if you use the tiny scrape there's no problem, larger amounts as many have mentioned...too much salt.

I sometimes act as a translator for my French dietitian. The funniest thing ever was watching her face when I tried to explain what the marmite (in a food diary) was. 'well it's made from yeast and you spread it on toast, it's brown, its salty but you only spread it thinly and it has lots of vit B. ..........''
I think it confirmed her ideas that the British are mad and have no taste whatsoever':D
 
Marmite it's in very close league with liver😱

As the two foods that should be banned from very existence, as both are totally foul indeed..

As you can tell I'm not a lover of Marmite🙂

But they do say you either love it or hate it

Bovril

What about Bovril ?
I love it on toasted wheatgrain bread with unsalted butter, for breakfast.
It's 10 times better than marmite in my opinion, but is it bad for me?

Marmite

Hi Andy

I think I'm falling into the trap of not wanting to eat any bread as I'm afraid it's going to cause a spike (coward)! My doctor recommended Rye bread and as I'm a huge Marmite fan, think I will try that out for breakfast tomorrow. Should be interesting to see what the test results are? I know it's high in salt but also has loads of health benefiting B vitamins. I don't a lot of salt so think i will give this a try.

I tracked my meals (counting calories, carbs, sugars, fat, saturated fat and salt) on a daily basis for a few weeks. It's interesting how easy it is to get to the 6g daily intake of salt. However, if you balance the salty things on a daily basis then you should be OK.

Let us know how you get on with the rye bread. It should be tasty enough (I must try making one in my bread machine one day!).

Andy 🙂

If the rye bread doesn't work out, have you tried Soya and Linseed Burgen bread? Seems to be gentler on BGs for many...

Hi, Can't get Burgen's over here only Bergen!! :D
