    I like Tumaro's Let's Skip the Sandwich Wraps - only 60 calories and low carb/high in fiber.

    I love these. I am not low carbing, I simply like them.

    Summerkissed, there has to be something similar, in Australia. I would think, anyway.

    I've never heard of these (I live where low carb tortillas are easy to find). Which flavor or variety do you like best?

    I live on these bad boys. :wink: 50 calories and 3g net carbs. They taste pretty good. Our local Walmarts have them by the deli.

    Joseph's Mini Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread

    Low total carbs or net carbs? Because if you're looking for something low in net carbs, I recently tried out ThinSlim's Love The Taste Plain Bread and was blown away by the taste and texture of it! A little more dense and chewier than regular bread, but it tasted the same and I kind of liked this aspect of it since it made me slow down and enjoy what I was eating more, plus it was incredibly filling! The only downside is that the stuff can be expensive :/

    Pepperidge Farms makes a carb smart whole wheat and 7 grain bread 60 calories and 8 carbs per slice that taste good. Most bread are 16 g carbs or more per slice.

    Never heard them called cold rolls. Maybe you're familiar with the term summer rolls?

    FYI - they use a rice paper wrapper so probably not low carb (depends on how low carb you need). Certainly low calorie, though.

    FlatOut Flat bread has some low carb options, they have different kind of taste and high protein or low carb etc.
    I like them a lot and use them to make wraps and pizza's etc.

    OP. I use Goodness Super Food tortillas, HIGH in Fiber, carbs are 13, but still heaps better than bread or regular tortillas. Woolies and Coles sell them.

    Not at my woolies but next time I head into the city I'll have a look for them :) 13 is good! Just looking at ways to reduce without obvious sacrifice!!!

    Some of those wraps have more carbs and twice the fat of regular bread though, I trying to find that healthier alternative without lose of taste

    I buy these all the time, I think they're healthy. Low calorie and high fiber.

    I sometimes just roll up meat (ham, turkey) & cheese with some Dijon in the middle- they can be packed in plastic wrap/bags or a storage container, etc. can put some lettuce, tomatoes, onions in the middle, too...

    I use those big portobello mushroom caps for burgers buns... I'm sure you could use them for a sammich.
