Sorry, but I eat one small bread roll a day
Gave up eating bread and other things before and it's a complete waste of time
Unless you plan on living the rest of your life without these foods, I would say eat them in moderation which I am doing14 -
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).3
-
For my family, its helpful. We have two diabetics and one who recently had bariatric surgery. So cutting bread out is necessary.9

Also, Extreme Wellness Tortillas are just 50 calories and there are Crepini's at just 30 calories each. I like 'em both. Crepini's are a little more fragile.6

For me, the cheese wraps fall apart too easily to be useful. If I wanted to avoid the carbs, I'd just eat the contents without a wrapper, and increase whichever element of the contents needed to hit nutritional goals. Since I'm fortunate enough to not need to restrict carbs, I just used up the rest of the cheese wraps as a cheese layer in other foods, including actual wraps. With the right sized round casserole dish, they also work as a handy cheese topping for baked foods. Maybe the wrap ingredients I use are just too juicy or pointy or something, and that causes the problem.
I'm not trying to discourage people from trying these, but I think it's realistic to mention the limitations of a product, as we see them, and let folks make their own decisions. Others may have different experiences than mine, and that's fine. OP, if they're working for you, 3 cheers, and it's good that you posted about them. 🙂7 -
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!0

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.3

The cheese wraps are very thin, yes. I only put deli meat inside them and roll them up, then dip them in whatever sauce or dip I like.
Its a great option for those who need to be gluten free or avoid extra carbs because of diabetes.7 -
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.

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.1

I've been wanting to try the cheese wraps though! I just haven't seen them locally for a decent price yet.0

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

Thank you, Angela937 !
Why does everyone have to disagree? For those of us doing low carb, this is a great tip and I’m very glad that she shared. If you are doing low carb they are worth a try. I always look on here for new low carb products that I don’t know about, and If we all discourage people, then no one is going to want to post!
I can’t wait to try them!7 -
I wonder if they upcharge for putting "Gluten Free" on the packaging. They could probs go another buck or two if they added "Keto-friendly"!5

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.1

It would make my peanut-butter and jelly taste funny...7

Looks tasty...but I have a hard time controlling myself with cheese...I'd probably eat an entire package in one go. I'm currently in the process of cutting 20 Lbs that I put on in 2020 and have removed all cheese from my home...because I will literally eat all of the cheese.6

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.3

Use these to make sandwiches instead of bread or wraps. And its much easier than trying to use lettuce as a wrap!
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.1 -
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.0

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.
Watch a million disagrees below lol 😂
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.2 -
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 Diet0 -
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.1

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 sandwiches0
