I have a weakness for bread.  And bread is one of the worst things for you and so high in carbs.  So I was a little skeptical about this recipe being 500 calories for the entire loaf.  Usually things with cream cheese in it are never under 10,000 calories... so I put it to the test!  And it is true.  It came just around 500 calories for the entire loaf.  But is it any good?  It is delicious!  And you would never know that you use applesauce and wheat flour in it.  It didn't last long in our house, it was too yummy!
