What do you use as an alternative to bread. I have done tortillas but they are almost as bad as bread. I am looking for some type of alternative that I could use for my lunch meat.

    When you say "bad" do you mean texture, taste, or nutrition value?

    My regular bread alternatives are reduced calorie whole grain or rye breads, 90 calorie Hawaiian rolls, Trader Joes Artisan rolls for about 110 calories each or low carb flatbreads, tortillas and wraps.

    Or if you want a no carb/ no grain options try lettuce wraps or cloud bread recipes. Hope this is what you're looking for.

    I tend to make gram flour breads - very simple - gram flour and water - chuck some Coriander leaf and chilli seeds in - make the batter very runny and cook in a pan until either crispy or just under - (turn over once). very flavoursome - only uses small amount of gram flour too - (Chickpea flour).

    I often use a Romain or Butter lettuce leaf. It makes a great alternative!

    I've seen and actually try to slice some cucumbers lengthwise and put some cream cheese and lunch meat in the center or just roll up your lunch meat or lettuce wraps, depending on what you're doing.

    What's bad about bread nutritionally? And why do you need a substitute?

    I have celiac disease and roll cold cuts and cheese up and eat them with a fork a lot of the time. A lettuce wrap also works. But sometimes I just want a sandwich and I eat GF bread. It's expensive though so I don't buy it often.

    Do you have to watch sodium intake for medical reasons? You could bake your own bread.

    You can use wholemeal bread. There is low sodium compared to white bread.

    That is nothing like the lovely crispy tiger rolls I eat smothered in butter. You need a better baker.

    If you want to eat less bread, and there are many reason that you may choose to or not that's just personal choice.

    Then I'd think beyond a sandwich for lunch and look at what else you could be eating.

    If you have access to a microwave (and the spare calories) leftovers could be an option.

    Homemade, soups can be very nutritionally dense and lower calorie (or higher if that's what you want).

    A salad box is a solid options and you can go way beyond a limp lettuce leaf with various shredded raw veg under your protein.

    Bread isn't "bad" but I rarely eat it, because for me it's not worth the calories (never been a bread person).

    I don't consume "alternatives," though. I just don't use bread. For example, instead of a turkey sandwich I pack turkey and vegetables and whatever else I want to fill out the meal.

    The teaspoon of salt I include in my home made bread is critical to making a fluffy, chewy, lofty loaf. That is one teaspoon salt to two cups flour. Surely that is not high salt.
