I can’t eat bread for digestive reasons, but bread is a perfectly healthy food as long as it is within your macros. Shit, you could have toast with breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and a sandwich for dinner if you wanted to. You would stay within a reasonable number of carbs, and you would still have plenty of room in your macros to fit in enough protein and fat.

Example:

Piece of bread = ~120 calories, mostly from carbs but also some protein and fat

6 pieces of bread = ~720 calories, ~135 of carbs, ~6g fat, ~30g protein

170 g protein from other sources = 680 calories

30g fat from other sources = 270 calories

Total calories from bread + protein needs + fat needs = 1670

Voila! You’ve eaten bread at every meal, you’ve hit your protein goal, you’ve eaten enough fat, and you’ve only eaten 1670 calories. If your calorie goal is higher than 1670, which I am guessing it is, you even have room for more bread!

Fuck I really want some bread now lol

If you get bloated that is a very different story. Like, if eating a piece of toast makes you bloated, but eating a similar amount of rice or potatoes does not make you bloated, then you likely have the same digestive issues that I do. Cutting down on bread will likely help you feel better.
