Low Fat
If you’re following a low carb diet, searching for bread that is both high in fiber and has a low net carb count is key to keeping blood sugar at a stable level and staying on track with keto diet goals. Net carbs refer to the total grams of carbohydrates minus fiber grams found in foods (per The Kitchn). Such varieties often contain less than 5 net carbs per slice which make them great choices to help manage blood sugar and stay on course with keto.

High Fiber
No matter if you’re following a gluten-free diet or simply trying to lose weight, high fiber breads are an essential component of living healthily. They’re typically made by combining flour with nuts like almonds and walnuts that contain dietary fiber; fiber helps promote gut health and helps you feel satiated throughout the day while also protecting against obesity and heart disease.
Some may worry that high-fiber breads won’t taste the same, but many come close to matching traditional bread’s texture and flavor. Furthermore, they contain lots of essential protein nutrients while being low in carbohydrates – perfect for anyone following a weight loss diet!
Before purchasing high-fiber bread, it’s essential that you read its label carefully. Consider factors such as carbs and fat per serving as well as sodium levels; in addition, look for natural ingredients without added sugars or trans fats.
There is an array of high-fiber bread options available for consumers following a ketogenic diet, such as linseed bread which is packed with soluble fibre and omega-3 fatty acids, making it perfect as either an ingredient in sandwiches or used as the basis of soups.

Some options use wheat while others don’t – like this HEB product which boasts 14 grams of protein and 12 grams of carbohydrates per slice! Others have high fiber contents while still others contain different kinds of fats – Dave’s Killer Bread boasts 16 grams of protein with 3.5 grams of fiber per slice!

Another great option is Mikey’s which can be found at most grocery stores with only 2 grams of net carbohydrates per slice.
No matter the kind of bread you consume, it is still necessary to balance out your macronutrients by getting plenty of lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains. If you need assistance in doing this, connecting with a registered dietitian could provide valuable tools and support to achieve optimal nutrition.
