hi as above mentions what kind of bread are you using I have 50/50 in the freezer but from 800g loaf im gonna have them as hex b today but what do you all do normally please
 
A hex b would need to be wholemeal bread only. 60g worth. Two slices of a larger loaf is slightly more.
 
If we only have big loaves in the house I'll sometimes use those as long as it's wholemeal :) I just weigh out 60g as my HEx b.
 
I always use two slices from a 400g loaf. I portion the loaf into two slices and freeze them in freezer bags as no one else eats brown bread in my house.
 
I use Asda chosen by you wholemeal medium sliced loaf, works out around 44g for two slices :)
 
My only cheat too, I always cut the crusts off kingsmill wholemeal 800g loaf, 2 slices works out 60g. Pleased to see im not the only one. Thing is everyone is different but it hasnt done me any harm in the 2years, so if it works why not...

Never regret something that once made u smile
 
I sometimes use ordinary slices if that's what we have but my OH eats most of the bread and I normally use something else as my HeB. I don't think you can use 50/50 as a Healthy B though as it doesn't have enough fibre.

Correct - 50/50 is not on the HEb list.

if you're cutting off the crusts to make a total weight of 60g then you're not cheating! A HEx is 60g of any WM bread.
 
I usually get the 400g of any wholemeal loaf that looks the freshest and will last longest because really only me that uses it but sometimes we get 800g loaf and I dont bother cutting the crusts off or syning the extra bit but thats just me.
