Many people think that carbohydrate found in bread causes them to put on weight, but health experts recommend your diet should be made up of 35% fat, 16% protein and 49% carbohydrates. 

Current recommendations for a healthy, balanced diet are therefore to base most meals on starchy carbohydrates like bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, etc. 

With our range of Weight Watchers bread you can enjoy a luxury day of recipes that are low in Weight Watchers POINTS values!

Hints and tips:

Bread is not fattening – it’s what you put in it that makes the calories add up, so try to use low fat fillings and spreads.
