See I had this same discussion just a few days ago, I don't find that the weight changes I weigh it when I get it to see how long it will do me and 4 days later they 2 slices still weigh the same, yes half units well only really used 1 meal a day x
Are you sure your scales are that accurate?

Well I'd say so, say when I get my bread, I weigh out in 2 slice portions, 80g first as that's what I use and if none of the rest come to 80 they are usually 81, 4 days later when I come to use one of the 81g portions they still weigh 81g, I've heard it can change if you don't close the bag tight enough and keep as fresh as possible x

It sounds as if you have quite a system there. Was your picture showing mould? I couldn’t really see? I was just wondering whether you freeze your portions since you divide them up at the start?

No it was the size of the slices, its supposed to be a medium loaf but the slices were huge, more like the size of the toastie loaf according to my granddad lol, no I don't freeze them, just place them back in the bread bag in order of weights, I know it may sound crazy to many of you but I was OCD before diagnosis and this system works for me and keeps me right and also I know when I need to put a fresh loaf onto the shopping list, I do apologise if it makes me odd xx

No need to apologise. I’m sure we all have something we do that other people wouldn’t, and wouldn’t life be boring if we were all the same!
 
On the other hand the other suggestions that have popped up are also tempting me.
Let us know what you try Kaylz
Haven't tried anything yet, its so difficult to add things to make 35gish carbs, wanting this first psychology appointment out the way, blah blah blah :( then now I'm wanting the oddest combinations, been thinking about blitzing some raspberries with cream cheese and trying that with peanut butter! 😱 (haven't yet worked out amount of carbs etc though) xx

Actually, that sounds quite nice 🙂
 
So glad I'm not the only one who thinks it then haha, will need to get peanut butter and cream cheese at some point then as there's only ever the raspberries to hand! haha x
 
I reintroduced bananas back into my diet because I need the potassium (and I like them!) 🙂 I tend to limit them to 2 a week though and not over ripe ones.
Michael Mosley has recipes that include bananas that are green. Only way I like them luckily!
