You may dis Subway's new low-carb wraps, but ...
.... they are dovetailing in perfectly with my low-carb plan. Today I ate
the Turkey Bacon Ranch Wrap (with green pepper, ripe olives, some onion) for lunch, and for dinner I fixed a four-egg cheese omelet with four thick slices of bacon and 5 or so pats of butter. Both very filling to me. (Of course I take plenty of supplements and vitamins and usually eat more vegetables with dinner). I plugged the Wrap into Fitday, and along with my omelet and bacon I had a near-perfect carb day! This is the Fitday breakdown: Calories Total: 1580 Fat:123g 72% Carbs:26g 4% Protein:92g 24% Fiber:11g The ratio of 72% fat, 24% protein and 4% carbs is as close to my daily ideal as I ever come. Not only that, but net carbs were only 15 after subtracting the 11g fiber, all of it from the Subway wrap. (I drank only water and weak iced tea; may have added an odd carb) I won't eat it every day, but it's sure nice to know that there's a restaurant next door to work where I can now get fast food that doesn't trash my low-carb way of eating. Incidentally, for diabetics who may be interested -- My BG was 95 before lunch, and 115 two hours after eating the Subway wrap. It had a minimal effect and kept me within normal limits for that meal. I'm a very happy low-carber today. -- Peter website: http://users.thelink.net/marengo |

The only reason I dis them, is that evidently my local Subway owner is a
friggin' MISER with portions. They taste good enough, but in order to get something *satisfying* I'd have to order double meat and ask for extra veggies, making it even *more* expensive than it already is. Thanks but, no thanks--I'll just wait for BK's "protein-style burger" to come out. ~Stretch~ marengo wrote in message s.com ... they are dovetailing in perfectly with my low-carb plan.
