Miss and crave bread?

I did.

And I have my own solution. Your mileage may very, etc. etc..(it won't work for everyone - the band is it's own brand of madness on each of us)

Croutons!

On a whim, I picked up a bag of Marie Callendar Parmesan/Ranch croutons, the fat free variety. When I was on a low-fat diet several years ago, these (in small amounts) alleviated my cravings for fritos (the bane of my existence).

5 good sized croutons have 30 calories total. They're bread (albeit hard and toasty) and they really do kick that craving for me. (*crunch* *crunch* *crunch*)

I throw 5 (or 10, depending on the calories in the rest of my meal) on my plate, and eat them after my Protein. It's just enough to make me not feel like I'm missing my good ol' texas toast, and not too much to make me feel a need to PB, even with relatively good restriction.

Sometimes, it pays to think outside the box (or, bag, in this case).

I am a dough freak! I carry a Dolly Madison bakery around on each thigh and my bum is made of Texas toast!

Croutons! Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?

I had heard that it's the soft fluffly breads and gooey pastas that are the problems. Makes sense that croutons would work fine. MMmmm garlic cruotons!
