Protein breads ranked by carbs: Are they really a ‘healthier’ alternative?

Author Susie Burrell is a leading Australian dietitian and nutritionist, founder of Shape Me, co-host of The Nutrition Couch podcast and prominent media spokesperson, with regular appearances in both print and television media commenting on all areas of diet, weight loss and nutrition.

Forget finding protein bars and powders only in the health food aisle, you can now find a growing range of protein-based bread in the regular bread section in supermarkets.

Unlike bread that is made from a base of wheat flour, high protein, low carb loaves are generally made with a range of wheat flour alternatives including wholegrains, seeds or speciality flours in which the carbohydrate is less readily available.

This results in a bread that remains dense and chewy, and is often much higher in fat than regular bread, but especially low in carbohydrates.

Generally more processed than regular bread, higher protein loaves give options for those on a range of different dietary regimes.
