But is it actually good for you?

As an occasional treat, cloud bread is penalty, says Health s contributing nutrition editor Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD. But its definitely not a good idea to eat it instead of whole grain bread, in an attempt to clean up your diet or lose weight, she says.

Just because a recipe is grain-free or low-carb doesnt automatically make it healthy, or mean that sections dont matter, Sass explained.

In cloud bread, the grain flour is primarily replaced with eggs and cream cheese, and the latter isnt a food I recommend upping your intake of, she said, since cream cheese is high in saturated fat.

Moreover, while cloud bread may have fewer calories than whole grain bread( about 40 calories per slice versus 80 ), it lacks many of the nutrients in the real deallike fiber, which has been shown to help lower blood sugar, cut cholesterol, and reduce colon cancer risk. Whole grains offer a slew of other health benefits, too. They deliver essential minerals and vitamins, assist digestion, help reduce belly fat, even protect your teeth and gums.

If you are sensitive to grains, however, there are other alternatives more nutritions than cloud bread, Sass said. She recommends bread stimulated with flour that comes from pulsations, like chickpeas, or starchy veggies, like potatoes.

And if youre thinking about cloud bread as part of a no-carb diet, you may want to rethink the diet altogether, Sass said. Carb-free diets often backfire, she explains, because they tend to leave people hungry. And when youre hungry, youre more likely to turn to unhealthy fatswhich can avoid weight loss, or worse, trigger weight gain.

Aim to cut back on carbs instead of entirely eliminating them, she said. If youre craving bread, choose one with nutrient-rich, whole food ingredients, rather than processed ingredients. And stick to one slice rather than two.
