Bread for sandwiches

[Songwriter]

Can you recommend any kind / brand of bread that is good for making a sandwich. I haven't eaten any bread since on PP but for on-the-go meals, it's hard to beat a sandwich. What to do?

Some people use LC wraps.
I don't know of any LC bread, because it most definitely depends on where you live - varieties vary by location.

Hi songwriter!!
I use to prepare a kind of tuna bread when I'm planning an on-the-go meal. You just need 2 eggs, 2 tuna cans, a little spoonful of baking powder and some spices.
You just have to beat the eggs, make a kind of mashed tuna (I don't know if you can understand me well, I mean to crush the tuna), add the baking powder and the spices you like, mix everything and beat again. Then, on the microwaves, 7-8 minutes, turn it over and 3-4 minutes more. And voilá!! A kind of tuna bread to fill with ham, cheese or whatever you like!!
If you notice it tastes too much the tuna, you can add nutmegg to neutralize this taste. Ah! I use olive oil tuna cans, but I squeeze a bit the tuna to get a more spongy bread. Don't add salt because tuna is already salty.
I hope to have helped you. I'm aware food here is not the same as in other countries like USA.:)

it really depends on what's available in your area. The sprouted grain breads are pretty lc-friendly - if they aren't on the shelf they might be in the freezer section (esp. of a health-ier market).
If you have Orowheat brand in your area - they have a "light" ww and a "carb control" ww - the "light" is easier to find and just as low-carb - about 11g ECC for 2 slices. The LC tortillas though you can get for about 7 ECC per tortilla or less.
Lettuce also works as a wrap - and don't underestimate just rolling up sliced meat & cheese - thin roast beef w/cream cheese/horseradish spread (mmm)
if you don't mind "open face" - Wasa Light Rye or Kavli Thin are both lc-friendly crackers that are pretty good, IMHO.
there are also some recipes around (even here) for flax-based bread-like substances.

There’s a very popular tortilla company that makes lc fajita-7or 10 carbs, and taco-5 carbs size tortillas.

I like the Whole Wheat ones on the right. Something like 20 g fiber per serving.

I have tried most of the lc carb breads--Orowheat makes a line of " light" breads that run around 5-6 per slice, and they are just OKay, nothing to wriite home about-- also tried the sprouted grain breads and most of the wraps. and to me they just aren't good enough--still higher in carbs than I'm really comfortable with, have a lot of wheat and gluten and don't give you much " bang for the carb buck" IMO, so I decided that using low carb bread everyday--the way I used to eat--was not for me; not that I never eat bread at all, but if I'm gonna eat it I would much rather have an occasional, small serving of really, really fabulous bread--a sour dough or french or a great croissant. ( and I do mean occasional--as in less than once a month for me)
breaking the habit of the sandwich mentality worked better for me. It just means having some imagination for awhile while you develop new favorites; roll ups or some other invention or just leftovers. Take along food can be just as easy as a sandwich--zip lock containers are cheap, and I keep a box of picnic forks in my car and one at work in case I forget to take along a fork from home. ( also handy if I need to get a fast food burger to eat without the bun)

I think it was Dana Carpenter who said that you will be less sucessful on this WOE if you try to make your new Lo-carb diet look just like your old high carb diet using low carb junk food to replace your high carb junk food. Junk is still junk ( and IMO most bread is junk food)
