Lowest Calorie Bread (USA Brands Compared)

When people follow a low-calorie diet, they often stay away from bread because it’s thought to be high in calories, but there are some that you can still incorporate into your daily diet without breaking the calorie bank.

We’ve compiled a database of bread so we can compare the top brand bread that is available in most large grocery stores in America. In this article, we’ll take you through the best low-calorie bread options along with additional nutritional information to help you decide which is best for you and your diet.

Top 12 Lowest Calorie Bread

Before we begin, there are just a few important things to note on this topic.

Firstly, these bread brands are the lowest calorie per slice and might not be the lowest weight for weight. A small loaf that is sliced thinly is naturally lower in calories because there’s less of it and these are typically lowest in calories.

Secondly, just because bread contains seeds, or is ‘whole grain’, it doesn’t always mean that it’s the lowest calorie choice because there might be added ingredients such as sugar that lead to a higher calorie value.
