    I've eaten at Cracker Barrel in the past. I don't think there are ANY healthy options there! Best to eat somewhere else, I think.

    When I saw the title of this thread, I thought "No way Cracker Barrel can pull this off."

    They didn't. The bread is just high fiber, not low carb. The bread they serve as "low carb" is 20 grams of carbs per slice. That is, if the cooks served you the high fiber, whole grain bread. If the bread was white, chances are it was just plain old french or sourdough and even higher in carb grams.

    The lowest carbs per slice bread I've been able to find is Dave's Killer Bread, Sprouted wheat at 17 grams per slice. Just keep in mind that low carb bread just doesn't exist. The idea of "net carbs" is a marketing gimmick used to show that a product is high in fiber. I feel that listing a product's net carbs should be illegal as it is very misleading.

    This makes me so angry when you think about the people who have an honest to God disease that can affect their life, and these companies dont care. They do the same thing with gluten, and put the lives of those with Celiac's at risk every day.

    So angry that's why education on nutrition is so important, so you can break down what's really going into your mouth.
