@dorisena I can't have grapefruit, pomegranate, or Seville oranges due to incompatibility with my medications. I think Seville oranges are actually a hybrid with grapefruit.
I also take levothyroxine and have to wait an hour after my immunosuppressants, which works for my levothyroxine too, before eating. I have read that although you can eat a half-hour after taking thyroid medicine that you should not drink coffee for an hour. I have no idea if that is true, I never thought to ask my endocrinologist.
I too rarely eat white bread, usually just when dining out if I have a roll. I made some really delicious muffins yesterday with oat bran, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, banana, dates, and shredded carrots. It does have a half cup of yogurt in it too, could you have that baked in something? I am lactose intolerant so I used lactose-free yogurt. I made the muffins for my husband and he loves them. He will not eat yogurt so I hid that from him. It's not a problem for him, just a personal aversion.
If those are things you can eat and you would like the recipe, let me know.
