This Low Calorie High Protein Bread is just 90 calories and has 8.1g of protein per slice! Plus, I supplied tips on increasing the protein even more below! I like to make this low calorie protein bread for protein packed French toast, sandwiches, or avocado toast.

Lose Weight By Eating

This Low Calorie High Protein Bread is just 90 calories and has 8.1g of protein per slice!

You can use any milk you prefer, and though it will raise calories a bit, cows milk will increase the protein by about 1g per slice.

I used a fancy Artisan Loaf Pan to get the shape, but it's pricy, so I included a lower cost version below. The shape will be different, but the flavor will be the same.

Special Tip: If you don't have self-rising flour you can make your own. You'll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 flour), 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
