[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "regular" size should be considered the 8 inch at 480 calories. A 16 inch sandwich at 960 is way too big a portion for lunch.

If the 8 inch isn't enough you should add a fruit or salad or veggie as a side.

Those sandwich shops, the bread is really going to get you. It's fine for once in a while, but you shouldn't be eating a white bread baguette daily. If I eat a sandwich, I like the Dave's thin sliced whole wheat/seeded bread. It's a good size for portion control, tasty, and filling. And, yes, mustard instead of mayo if you're really counting calories. [/quote]
Actually, I'll take regular baguette over that Dave bread any time. No added sugar in baguette vs 3g/slice of Dave's bread.
That's actually perfect example for the other thread - food marketed as healthy is actually worse than unhealthy one.[/quote]
OP here. Why is there sugar in baguette bread? Even in the sandwich shop one? It did not taste sugary to me. I bake baguettes and I used several different recipes when I was learning and none called for sugar. I think it is my fault that I assumed many store bought sliced bread has sugar added, but that something plain like a Jimmy Johns baguette (or similar type) will have no sugar!
Now that I know[/quote]

Usually you have to add sugar to make the yeast activate.. unless it's sourdough. But again a lot of commercial places add sugar for the taste or the texture of the bread. Just watch your portion size and look for the total calories. [/quote]
