Use these to make sandwiches instead of bread or wraps. And its much easier than trying to use lettuce as a wrap!

    I can get 2 slices of bread for 90 calories, plus I get fiber. Flatout wraps are really tastey (note to self, put on shopping list).

    I love Crystal Farms low-fat mozzarella. Wish I could find it easily in my area. And I would love to try those cheese wraps!

    I use the flat out wraps too. Plus cheese of choice. I have a cheese planer that slices it very thinly. I like lettuce wraps too. A lot less calories than cheese wraps.

    I love Joseph's Pita Bread. 60 calories for a pita, 1.5g fat, 270 sodium, 9g carbs with 2g dietary fiber and 6g protein.

    I've been wanting to try the cheese wraps though! I just haven't seen them locally for a decent price yet.

    I'm just very selective about the bread I buy after some training by a nutritionist. She taught me to read the labels and target brands where grams fiber are high and grams sugar are relatively low. It's shocking to read the label on many breads marketed as healthy.

    My goto is https://www.daveskillerbread.com/

    I am the same like you - type of flour used, fiber, sugar and oil are all important to me
    Not all bread are equal in ingredients and taste

    Similarly to @annpt77, we do not need to limit carbs, well, due to preconditions. Yes, to reduce carbs related to weight goals. I've been making 80-90% of our bread for 3 yrs now, and get a much more healthful result for the bread we eat than commercial. Varying between 80-110 cals/slice, depending on variety/etc., and full control of ingredients. If we do buy commercial, I tend to do what @Theo166 does, and go for dave's killer bread, the thin-sliced version. We recently completed a drawn-out 3-month move/downsize where sometimes (often) meals weren't as planned and on-track as we'd like, and I had to resort to commercial breads. Moderation is key, though, even if you can eat it.

    I have truffle cheese right now. I have Persian Fetta too and Halloumi .. I have all of it. lol. I even have lactose free pizza cheese mix for my little fur baby because I think she is lactose intolerant and loves cheese. Oh and I don't know if you know or not but you can freeze most cheeses. I have tons of Brie frozen and other stuff too like the French cheese called Boursin. I only buy my cheese when half price or less most of the time and freeze it if need be otherwise it's put into cryovac and sealed.

    I have never actually thought of using lettuce as a bread.. pretty innovative 🤣. I will try this cheese wraps..
    There a couple of brands of wrap/tortilla with high fibre content (12-15g per piece) they hardly amount to 80 calories. For my appetite 2 are more than enough.

    I recently tried chaffles as a substitute for hamburger buns and thought they turned out well. Simply 2 eggs and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese blended and cooked in a waffle maker until browned.

    Disagrees I find are trolls trying to cause drama. Or ones on a different diet so seek out those who aren’t on there’s. So I ignore them.

    I could litterely just post ;@: The sky is Blue
    Nothing else get dislikes 👎 on a fact about the color of the sky even if I have a picture to back it up.

    I didn’t even think about cheese as bread substitute or lettuce sounds interesting to try.
    My bread is 70 cal per slice took awhile to find one that low with ingredients I like.

    Low cal tortillas I buy for myself but still have to buy the boys (My Emilio’s) their large package of tortillas. I do miss hot dog buns to hamburger buns still searching for lowest cal ones hit but doing it online until after Covid (immune disorder).

    Cousin told me he takes egg whites adds a little cheese for flavor occasionally a sugarfree 45cal pancake syrup to it (Pam cooking spray y a frying Pan 🍳).
    He then places his (any type vegan,Turkey,beef,pork,any) sausage on it
    That’s his breakfast. He huge into Keto Diet

    I use lettuce wraps (especially romain/butterhead) to stuff and create a sandwich. I use the dehydrator for wraps/crackers (made with vegetables/seeds). A family fav - yummy falafel made with sunflower seed base in the dehydrator added to my romaine lettuce Sammy with a cucumber tsziki sauce. So good and good for me! Maybe a couple times a year, I'll resort to Ezekiel/Dave's bread in a pinch. Much prefer homemade goods.

    I find it hard to cut out bread, also; and have done open-faced sandwich with one slice of bread, works for a lot of sandwiches
