Bad breakfast choice?

First let me state, I am NOT on Weight Watchers but think you guys are
knowledgeable any and value your opinions. I think this is fine but I'm
looking for confirmation. I have a question re my choice for breakfast.
First let me state two things. Because of my work schedule it is not
possible to have conventional sit down lunches or dinners, I must eat "in
the fly". Also, I am fully aware of plateaus, etc. in weight loss programs.
Speed of loss is not a problem I know it will come if I do it right.

My lunch and dinner both usually consists of a sandwich made up of 2 slices
whole wheat bread, 1 T fat free 1,000 island dressing, 2 oz. grilled
chicken, 1/3 tomato, and 1 slice of cheddar cheese (from 2% milk). For
breakfast 2 out of three days, 2 egg-in-the-baskets (egg & slice of whole
wheat toast), the other days 1/4 canalope & slice of whole wheat bread.

The question is, even though it's whole wheat, is 6 slices of bread too
much? Waddaya think?

Thanks in advance ... Bob

Why is the question focusing on bread?

If you're losing weight what difference does it make? That does seem like a
lot of bread to me.

I don't think so if you are eating appropriately to go with it, I might look
for the healthiest bread going and I might increase the vegetables on the
sandwich, I truly understand "on the go" eating, and I think that you have
worked out how to eat healthier while on the run is a good thing, Lee, who
was just thinking a whole wheat tortilla might be less points and easier to
eat in a hurry and hold some more shredded vegetables

I didn't think it was possible to much healthier of a sandwhich. I do
sprinkle fruit liberally between meals.
