This list has been updated with the new WW Points values on 1/28/23.
When I first joined Weight Watchers I went up and down the bread aisles of the grocery store trying to weed through the good options from the bad ones. It can be hard to pick out low smart point foods when there are hundreds of thousands of brands and flavors. I mean, ONE WHOLE AISLE dedicated to bread alone!? That’s a lot of bread to sort through! I decided to make some lists on our site for people who are looking for smart options for things like oatmeal, granola bars, cereal, and bread. Today’s list includes breads that are 1 Point per slice and buns that are 2 Points each on the WW program.
Most store-bought bread and buns are between 2-6 WW Points per slice/bun, but there are several brands that offer lighter options! My favorite brand of bread and buns right now is the “Healthy Life” brand. It has been brought to my attention that this brand is not in all stores. For that reason I have decided to put together a list of the lowest WW Point breads and buns you will find in your grocery store.
HOW TO PRINT OFF THIS LIST.
If you are not sure which brands are at your grocery store you can print off the list at the bottom of this post and take it to the store with you so that when you are going down the bread aisle you will have a good idea of what to look for! I hope this list makes navigating your way through the bread aisle easier.

I’m just starting so it’s a bit confusing right now. Thanks for the list! That really helps a lot.
Great Eileen. 🙂 Hope you are able to find some lists on here that will help you have success. Thanks for dropping a comment.
Thanks for your list, I need to know how many slices of bread (Sara Lee 45 calories ) can I eat a day?
They’re about one point per slice. 🙂
Wow! You don’t know how much I appreciate your website. I just started WW and trying really hard to make wise decisions with my points. Your website is awesome. If you send emails, please include me. Thank you 😊
Which of these stores actually carry the light hot dog buns? We’ve been to the local Walmart, Giant and ShopRite and none of them actually stocked the light hot dog buns!
UPDATE on 2/2/18: I am sorry for recommending ordering from the Healthy Life website. I do not recommend following my old advice now. An MPM reader brought it to my attention that their shipping rates are sky high… and she was right. She was going to order 8 loaves and it was going to cost her $25.35 for shipping. You can check out their shipping prices here before you decide if you are going to order from their site: http://www.healthylifebread.com/pages/where-to-buy/shipping.php.
Old comment:
Hmmm… I am sorry you weren’t able to find them where you shop, Emily. I know that different areas carry different foods so it is possible that you are not finding these particular brands/kinds of breads in your store. I am able to find them at Target and a store called Town and Country where I live. If you wanted to you could order some online. If you order online I would recommend going with Healthy Life. You can get to their site here: http://www.healthylifebread.com/pages/where-to-buy/buy-online.php They are my personal favorite and they have lots of options. Hope this helps.
Great info thank you!
You’re welcome. ?
Thanks a million. This list has been very helpful. It can be daunting trying to navigate weightwatchers at the beginning.
That was SO VERY VERY VERY KIND of you to share this information!!!!!!!!
I can’t thank you enough! I just started WW again after many years. I lost a large amount of weight and kept it off for a long time and then found myself heavy again, so I am back! I love the new focus on whole foods, but sometimes a girl just needs a slice of bread or a crunchy snack. I was finding people on Instagram raving about quest bars and Premier Protein, but I just wanted to know what regular snacks I could have. Your lists are lifesavers. I went and bought lots of things and just feel better knowing I have some options even though I know fruits and veggies are still the best choice.
I hear ya Suzanne! 🙂
Thank you for organizing these lists for us. They are very helpful and make it much easier to shop.
What a great list! Thanks so much.
Great list! Also – Aldi’s Fit & Active Bread (White & Wheat) are 1 sp per slice!
Perfect Laura! Thanks. 🙂
How many freestyle points in Ezekiel bread?
1 slice of Ezekiel 4:9 bread is 2 Smart Points. (3 WW SP for their cinnamon raisin bread)
Thank you for the list. I am about to start WW and I love eating sandwiches because they are quick and easy. Now I just need to find the healthiest sandwich recipes.
Pepperidge Farm Light Style 7 Grain bread is also 1 SP per slice, and quite good. I have found it in most chain stores.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I’m confused cuz on the ww app the whole wheat wonder bread is 5 points for 2 slices?
Hmmm… that is very strange. I am not seeing the one that says 5 SP for two slices, but I am seeing a discrepancy in the app, nevertheless. My app says, “Wonder bread, 100% Whole Wheat” is 1 SP per slice. Also on the app it says, “Wonder Soft 100% Whole Wheat Bread” is 2 SP per slice. Also on the app, it says, “Wonder bread, Soft 100%, Whole Wheat” is 3 SP for two slices. Regardless, it is confusing and should be taken off of this list for that reason, so I will take it off. Thanks so much for pointing that out! 🙂
This post is for Sara who likes sandwiches. I have a sandwich every day for lunch and it’s only 3 points. Lite bread at 1 point per slice, 1 Tablespoon lite mayo at 1 point makes 3. I use turkey breast lunch meat which is free and then load up on lettuce and tomato for a nice hearty sandwich. I have been on WW for several months and am down over 30 lbs.
Awesome! Great job! ❤️ it. ?
My favorite is Pepperidge Farm Thin White 1 slice = FS point 2 slices = 3 FS points
1 slice = FS 1 point
Great list, Alisha!! Love all of them!
Is there a way for you to put the SP points on the bread list like you did on all your other lists?
Thanks so much!
Oh! All of the breads in this list are 1 WW SP per slice and all of the buns are 2 WW SP each. I changed the wording in the first paragraph to make it less confusing. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Linda!
Sam’s Choice Sweet Hawaiian slider bun = 2 SP
Wow, great list of breads. Will try to put together an order at my WW workshop.
Today is national hotdog day.
Easier to celebrate with the bread list.
Thank you
I LIKE YOURLISTS. I FIND THEM HELPFUL. JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT MY FAVORITE BREAD IS OLD TYME 647 MADE BY SCHMIDT. HIGH IN FIBER LOW IN CARBS AND CALORIES. THEY ALSO MAKE HAMBURGER ROLLS AND JUST CAME OUT WITH BAGELS. THE BREADE COME IN A VARIETY OF FLAVORS. YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.
