    Cloud Bread, made from egg-whites and cream cheese. 0-carb, tastes just like bread. Look it up.

    OP was looking to save calories.....cream cheese isn't going to help her accomplish that.

    Actually I looked up the nutrition facts last week and per slice it's pretty good calorie wise. Definitely less than a slice of bread.

    Ideas maybe, low carb tortilla wraps (the ones I get a 80 cals, 13 carbs, 10 grams of fiber, 3 protein),

    You can use lettuce and fill up with more "filler"

    Also there is Double Fiber bread by Nature Valley but it does not agree with me at all.

    I use White/wheat for 110 calories and good on protein and fiber as well.

    What brand of low carb tortilla wraps do you get and where do you purchase them?

    La tortilla factory
    Tumaro's
    Flatout

    There are more... Typically under the deli counter, or on some random shelves in the stores (one store has them next to the refrigerated dairy section, another next to the packaged hummus section), sometimes in the packaged bread section... it really depends on the store, you might have to look everywhere.

    Thank you! I will look at Kroger to start. That store is closest to me and the only good grocery store in my town. :)

    I also have been using a 35 cal half of a Joseph's Pita for my pulled pork sandwiches lately. I found it at Wal-Mart.

    Hey, when I cook I like to use buckwheat over regular flour, it's not a grain but a seed grounded up. Buckwheat is also packed with protein and will make you fuller for longer. I've always wanted to try make buckwheat bread. I think it's lower in cals too? If you're interested I suggest you do more research, so far I found it very helpful. GL!!

    I have used bell peppers, romaine hearts or iceberg lettuce. Also I discovered this week that if you cut a sweet potato into thin slices lengthwise, you can pop them in the toaster! Topped that with salsa and a fried egg this morning

    I make "open faced" sandwiches with an English muffin, splitting all my ingredients over the two halves. You could do open faced on toast or just one piece of bread instead of two.

    I just tried Tumaro's multi-grain wrap and it was great!! Cutting bread out hasn't been terrible, but having a tortilla to wrap around things makes life so much easier sometimes.
