Its 40 points per loaf for the basic bread in my booklet. Thats working out about 3.5 original points a slice, shop bought white bread is about 1.5-2 points slice. There isnt really fat in there no butter just a small bit of oil. The main issue is the flour. Surely there must be a way around this as the shops manage to make low calorie bread using flour! Is wholemeal flour lower in calories than white?

My extra large wholemeal loaf worked out as 39 propoints, and I get 13 large slices from that. Gram for gram it's similar to shop bought. (homemade slice weighs 64g, bought slice weighs 35g). I think wholemeal flour might be slightly lower in points because of the fibre. Low calorie shop bought bread is full of air and in small slices, so that's why it's lower in points!
