13 Awesome Low-Carb Alternatives to White BreadSacrifice grams of carb content; not flavor! |
Whether you're keto, high fiber, or simply looking to cut back, it turns out there are plenty of low carb alternatives to white bread. White bread is nutrient-poor and is little more than empty calories and, worse yet, it's not very hearty or satisfying. Why? It's low in fiber, aka the zero-calorie, non-digestible part of a carbohydrate. Fiber adds bulk to food, helps you feel full for longer and, perhaps most importantly of all, er, helps to keep your digestive tract in good working order.
So, when you're looking for low-carb options, it's important to look at the carb and fiber content, to get an idea of many grams of carbs your body is actually digesting. You see, Carbs - Fiber = Net Carbs, with "net carbs" representing the amount of carbs that your body is actually digesting.
Another thing to keep an eye out for? Well, not all low-carb bread alternatives are automatic green lights. Many are high in processed ingredients, added sugars and sodium... which ultimately makes them worse for you than a delicious loaf of French bread.
So which options come out on top? Click through our slideshow to see the ones that deliver both nutritionally and gastronomically.
