I noticed that my multigran bread was 15 grams of carbohydrates per
slice. I might as well have a Hershey bar. What can I use for toast
and sandwiches.

Thanks

My Wife buys me a "lite" bread that has about 8 or 9 grams of carbs per
slice. Check the labels at the grocery. (I too would vote for the Hershey!)

If you're in the US don't forget to deduct the fiber. I eat a bread made by
Manitowoc Ovens. It's a Wisc. company but you can order it online in the
US. It gives me three grams of net carb.

Pepperidge Farms makes a low carb white bread. About 5 grams per slice.
They are out there.

You don't say where you are... but Oroweat has a 100% Whole Wheat Light
bread that's 18g for TWO slices... with 7g of fiber... for a net carb
count of 5.5g a slice.

And it's tasty too.

Well that bread would work. It's a high fibre bread and it's slow converting
bread too, so although it contains 15g of carbs, it's not as likely to spike
your BG as a Herchey bar would.

A Hershey bar has more carbs than that. Also, remember that your bread
contains fiber, if indeed it is a whole grain bread. The term "multigrain"
means nothing. Check all the various breads. Carb count varies widely.
I'm currently eating a bread called Very Thin by Pepperidge Farms. 3 slices
have 24 calories. It's white bread. Not the best thing to eat
nutritionally, but okay for toast and an occasional sandwich. I'm not a big
sandwich lover. I also buy rye bread and some of the "light" breads. My
biggest concerns, aside from carbs are soy, transfats and high fructose corn
syrup. With the exception of one local brand of rye bread, I've yet to find
any that don't have at least one of those things in them. So I basically
look at what is available to me at the time I'm shopping. I compare the
pull dates, trying to find something that doesn't expire right away, and
then decide on which one has the least of the evils. I plan to buy a bread
machine after I move, so I can make my own.

Unfortunately, sometimes, nothing.

I now only have "half sandwiches" - double the filling but one slice of
bread, either open or folded. And no toast at breakfast at all.

YMMV

You might be able to find the Manitowoc Ovens bread there.

You don't need a machine. I made our bread twice a week for two years
without a machine. Then local bakeries improved, so I stopped.
