Ketogenic dieters look for low-carb alternatives to all their foods. The last thing is to discover if there is keto bread in Mercadona.
Despite the fact that this supermarket has opted for the high presence of protein in many of its dairy products, there are still requests to fulfill. It is not easy to find a keto bread, since all breads are mainly made up of carbohydrates. However, there are some high protein, low carb options that can meet keto needs. Even beyond fat-reducing supplements, such as Keto Actives.
If you go overboard on carbohydrates, you are out of ketosis, and your body goes back to using glucose instead of fat for energy. This causes the effect of the ketogenic diet to be interrupted. Many of the breads suitable for this diet are usually made with another type of flour, such as almond flour. Although one of the best alternatives is the cloud bread, which is rich in protein, helps satiety and regulates cravings.
Unfortunately, there is no keto bread in Mercadona that suits this type of diet. For now it is only available under supplementation brands that are sold in other supermarkets (such as El Corte Inglés).
100% wholemeal bread and fiber and sesame bread
Keto bread is a bread free of dairy, carbohydrates and gluten. They usually include egg white, almond flour, sweetener, olive oil or coconut oil. These are normally the most common ingredients used when making this type of bread, which, as can be seen, are very healthy and we must take them into account when looking at the ingredients in Mercadona. But as we said before, this supermarket still does not have keto bread among its varieties. We do not doubt that they will bring it over the months, although you also have to be prepared for its high price.
However, among all the options that Hacendado presents, there are a couple that stand out for having a lower contribution of carbohydrates. It does not imply that they are entirely recommended for low-carbohydrate diets, but at least they are the closest.
On the one hand, if we like sliced bread for breakfast, the wholemeal 100% rindless It is the lowest carb. Specifically, one slice contains 9 grams of carbohydrates and 8 grams of protein, in addition to 2 calories. Therefore, it is not a protein version, although it does have a lower carbohydrate intake compared to its version with crust. Its price is €5 per package.
Moreover, the fiber and sesame bread from Hacendado, Wasa type, is especially recommended for any type of diet. Per serving of about 10 grams it provides 5 grams of carbohydrates, 8 grams of protein and only 1 calories. As we can see, it is a very healthy bread and more adapted to keto diets. Its price is €2 for a package of 38 units.
