Here are the best healthy breads of 2023, according to registered dietitians: Although “light” bread may seem like a healthier choice and have fewer calories per slice, that’s often because it’s sliced thinly so Sassos says to check to see how much one slice weighs in grams when compared to other varieties. Many brands will also add molasses or caramel coloring to loaves to make them look darker and more hearty, so paying attention to nutrition labels are extra important. 'Harvest' or 'country' options might sound healthy but are often sneaky sources of added sugar," Sassos adds.

"Be cautious with labels that say 'made with whole grains' or 'multigrain.' These terms can be code for hidden refined flours and fillers. The first ingredient on the list should be 100% whole or sprouted grains, or a whole food such as buckwheat, corn, legumes, nuts or seeds. The easiest place to start is to look for whole ingredients. "Bread can be an excellent source of fiber, but choosing the best loaf is surprisingly tricky," says Stefani Sassos, MS, RDN, CDN, Deputy Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Nutrition Lab. That said, with so many choices now available from rye to sourdough to paleo to gluten-free, choosing the best bread can be overwhelming. A recent study in The Journal of Nutrition found improved cardio-metabolic risk factors when replacing refined grains with whole grains.
The good news is that some of the latest research is telling us that it's time to revisit that bread basket - as long as it's whole grain. But the growing popularity of low-carb diets is keeping many people out of the bread aisle. Bread has long been a staple in our diets and rightly so since carbohydrates are our main source of energy.
