Bread and Sandwich Meats and Cheeses

What about wraps? I'm not exactly sure about the health benefits, but they have to be lower in carbs right? I had a spinich wrap the other day that was really good. Maybe I'll have to go look up the nutritional value on them.

Aiming for 60g of carbs a day and I need to try to get the lowest GI foods I can get.

Recommend some specific types of bread. I don't mind breads that have other types of oats/grains and such in them either. There's so many different kinds that it makes my head spin.

Recommendations for Cheeses and Meats that are healthier options would be awesome as well. I usually get some roast beef and swiss.

You could use lettuce instead of bread. What about pumpernickel bread?

Any of the low sodium meats.. Instead of bread how about romaine lettuce or a bigger leaf.. Another option would be to get the deli to slice your meat a little thicker and use that as the bread just wrap all your sandwich goodies on the inside I love doing this when i take a low carb day

Try the Mission Carb Balance Tortillas. They have different sizes and white vs. wheat. I buy the small/fajita sized wheat ones - 80 calories, 13g carbs - 10g fiber = 3 net carbs. My husband likes the bigger ones, medium/soft taco flour - 120 calories, 19g carbs - 13g fiber = 6 net carbs. Very good (they don't taste like cardboard)! These are great with lettuce, tomatoes, deli meat, chesse and whatever else you put on your sandwiches.

Most wraps/tortillas are just as bad if not worse than bread. Don't be fooled. If you like it go for it...but it's no less in calories/carbs unless you get something specifically low carb/calorie.

Oscar Meyer has some low fat smoked ham and smoked turkey. They are 97% fat free and 4 slices have a total of 50 calories.

Fat is not the enemy for one. And for 2...what is 'bad' in lunch meats is the very high sodium, not the fat. Look for low sodium options.

I use the Mission Balance tortillas as well as romaine lettuce to wrap meats and cheese. I've also had the Flat Out Flat Wraps which if I remember correctly were about 8 grams of carbs. One thing to watch with deli meat and cheese is the amount of sodium. I'd stick to non-processed meats, if possible. A better alternative might be to buy a pre-cooked turkey breast and slice it yourself. Wrapping is easy. Just put all of the filling on one half of the wrap and roll it up from the filling side so you can a complete layer on the outside of just the wrap. If you want, you can fold up one of the open sides over the filling then eat from the other side so stuff doesn't spill out of the bottom while you eat.

Something else to try is canned tuna. Today for lunch I am having 6 ounces of solid albacore (in water), 2 celery stalks and 2 tablespoons of light miracle whip. I eat the tuna salad with the celery stalks, no bread required. It has 6 grams of fat, 6 grams of carbs, 1 gram of fiber and 40 grams of protein for 5 net grams of carbs. It'd be even less carbs if I used regular mayo but I like the tang of Miracle Whip.

I also use green & red peppers to scoop up canned in water tuna fish with 1T of light miracle whip. You could also just put your bread in the freezer and take out the slice or two a day that you are using. When I use bread I make my sandwich in the am while I'm packing my lunch and by lunch time the bread is defrosted.
