Is bread good for meal planning?

Bread calories depend on slice thickness more than colour. Many sliced loaves vary from 60 to 110 kcal per slice — check the packet.

Spreads add up: a single tablespoon of butter is around 100 kcal, which can double the calories of a slice of toast.

How to use bread in a meal plan

  • Sandwich with lean protein and salad
  • Toast with egg or beans for breakfast
  • Open sandwich with cottage cheese and tomato
  • Cubed into croutons sparingly
