    Looking for advice on what people use - lower calorie options - for both pasta and bread (hamburger buns, wraps, etc.)

    Thanks in advance.

    spaghetti squash is awesome for pasta.

    We don't each much bread or pasta because DH and I have both tested sensitive to wheat. However, we will occasionally have a bun with our burgers or order pasta at a restaurant, and I don't bother substituting in that case.

    I like to use lettuce leaves to wrap around burgers. For tacos I usually do what a previous poster mentioned and just put it all on a bed of lettuce for taco salad. When we buy pasta we look for the kind that is at least partially veggie-based.

    The other night I made meatballs in red sauce--normally I would put this over spaghetti but I just ate them by themselves with a side of broccoli. Really good!

    I tried zoodles once but did not care for them. I felt like it was too hard to imagine pasta while eating soggy zucchini :-P
