Bread question.

Opinion varies, but in my view, if you are eating any kind of bread your low
carb diet is in trouble.

When I started, it took me about 6 weeks to give up on my favorite raisin
bread toast.

Hi all. Roughly how many carbs would there be in an average slice of
wholemeal bread?

It depends. I've seen anywhere from 10-25g/slice on labels. I assume
you're not buying this bread packaged, or you'd just look on the
package. If you're making it yourself, you'll have to add up the
carbs in the ingredients and divide by the number of slices. If
you're buying it unlabeled, like fresh from a deli, you're probably
out of luck unless they can tell you. Or you could look for a
packaged loaf that seems similar, and go with its numbers, guessing on
the high side.

Or the short answer: too many. Too many to have even a single
sandwich on a low-carb plan, unless you're into maintenance and eating
well over 50g/day. There are low-carb breads that claim to have
around 5g/slice, so that could be manageable.

Thanks. Yes I've reached my target weight and I'm into maintenance. The
bread we get (the rest of the family are not low carbing) is fresh baked and
there are no labels.
