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.
