How to eat bread on a diet

Bread is all over the map in terms of calories. You can get diet bread at 30-40 calories a slice, or whole grain bread at 120 calories a slice. Pita bread is the same across the board disaster, ranging from 40 calories per pita, to over 400 calories per giant pita. The same calorie swing exists for wheat flour tortillas. You can buy 50 calorie flour tortillas or 300 calorie flour tortillas. Read labels carefully on bread and bread products. Plain bagels are about 300 calories each, and plenty of 400-500 calorie bagels are readily available. Read the label carefully on all store bought bagels. Make sure that the calories listed per serving are for a full bagel, not a half bagel. When was the last time you ate half a bagel? Go to Panera’s and Einstein’s websites and weep.
