If you were in prep fopr a contest it would probably consist of boiled chicken, brocclie, and fish oil as a meal LOL. You don't wanna bring that to class now do ya.

You should try some real turkey breast or roast beef. Instead of buying the processed stuff you can spend a little extra $$ and get the real thing. They just take an entire turkey breast, roast it, then slice it up for ya. Just like you cooked it yourself. Same with the roast beef...and imo it tastes much better.

If you were prepping, you would want to try to stick with real foods, such as lean meats, brown rice, sweet potato, lots of green veggies, lots of water too.

I agree with JLB and Jodi. If not prep for a comp, i wouldnt fuss over it. BUT it is upto each as to how tortourous you want to make your diet.

Now what breads are better for you than others....or maybe I should say "less bad"? (ex. Whole Weat, Rye, White, Sourdough)

I used to get nice warm loaves at the grocery store and it them plain.

I have tried sourdough while back and I did like that....hmm that never crossed my mind latley till you said something...maybe I'll go get some of that
thanks for sparking my memory!

Yeah mang, this health food store near me sells some good sandwhichs, but their like 5 bucks a peice for a damn turkey sandwhich.

How does a chicken breast have 18 grams of fat in it?

My meals are laid out as cals - carbs - fats - pro. So, for e.g. the values as per the package of my deli chicken breast "100g chicken= 94- 0- 2.52- 16.8" would be :
94cals
0carbs
2.52fats
16.8pro

Where do you see 18gFat?

If you must have bread I'd go with whole grain bread, then second I would reach for the whole wheat. I am not sure of the nutritional values of others such as pumpernickle, rye, or sourdough so I can't comment on em. I do kno that if its whole grain its good LOL...much better choice then white or WW.

I make sandwiches with whole wheat low-carb wraps - like LaTortilla factory. They are very healthy and I love the taste.

Ezekiel bread isn't too bad. I personally don't like it, but I do like the 7 grain sprouted cinnamon raisin english muffins by Food for Life.

Food for Life L/C bread also tastes decent, but I prefer La Tortilla L/C tortillas.

Wouldn't that be a wrap and not a sandwich
