I have used wheat germ in meatloaf with excellent results. Much lower
in carbs than breadcrumbs.

I use coarse bulgur (cracked wheat) instead of bread crumbs, also to
excellent result. But, not low-carb; though it is whole grain.

I am not too concerned about low carb. Whole grain is good)) I use
toasted wheat flakes in some of my breads. Maybe that would be a good
addition?

Hmm well the crumbs in this recipe will not be a huge part of the whole. I
do make a wholemeal loaf with seeds and toasted wheat flakes so that might
be better anyway, yes?

I'm not sure what toasted wheat flakes are unless you mean cereal and I don't think you do. However, long ago when I was newly married I used a recipe I found on the box of Shredded Wheat cereal. If I recall correctly, it said to soak two of the 'pillows' in milk and then add to the beef. I think it was good and I'm not sure why I didn't keep using it, probably wanted to experiment.

If Shredded Wheat is still around, I may try it again.

I add them along with mixed seeds in a wholemeal loaf I make. It is very
popular in this house

And remember they also sold (or still sell) the Mini Shredded Wheat.

When my daughter was young (pre-school age), her favorite toys were
"My Little Pony" dolls for years. I still have a box of about 100 of
them up in her old bedroom closet.

Anyway, at every meal she would bring along her favorite pony to the
table. She would set it beside her plate and put one mini shredded
wheat in front of it. That was a "hay block" for the pony to eat.
ehehh It was very cute.

Oh, it's been over 30 years since I used Shredded Wheat for meat loaf. It was quite good; I remember my grandmother liked it. The recipe included a sweet and sour sauce as topping; I think that is what she liked though.

All this talk made me want to make some and so I shall today, perhaps using Saltines as a couple of people suggested.
