Is Italian bread high in calories?

Hello foodies, Do you think Italian bread is high in calories or not? I'm eyeing for that crispy loaf, but wary of the calorie counts. Any ideas? I’m keen to indulge in some carb goodness without guilt. Let's share your wisdom, amigos!

Watch your portion size with Italian bread! Calories can vary from 80 to 150 per slice depending on thickness (think bakery slices!), bread type (focaccia is higher due to olive oil), and even the bakery's recipe. Enjoy a reasonable slice with lighter dishes to keep it balanced and delicious!

Italian bread can be calorie-heavy, but portion control is key! One slice is around 150-200 calories. Enjoy it with your meal, but skip the seconds for a lighter option
