Love bread with my egg, so I have Italian bread sliced at the store, and then just have two little slices a day. Works for me. For a sweet treat, one slice Italian, butter, cinnamon, and sweetener! Delish at about 12 carbs! I cheat, I guess, but it keeps me on the straight and narrow with everything else. My personal rule: no more than one-half cup of anything. Well, almost anything....
