Hi everyone.

I have been dutiful, every weekend I make these big deep-dish pizza quiche -style eggy things out of the big muffin pan, and the have made a terrific low-carb INSTANT breakfast on busy weekdays. Even my husband eats them, heats ours in the oven while I dress the girls. Problem is, they are designed to be eaten on some kind of wrap on the go-tres messy. I have thus far kept it to a minimum by incorporating two slices of crappy $1/loaf sandwich bread, at 12 net carbs/slice, and I eat as little of it as I can get away with. Thats probably not going to fly with the new regimen.

Now, couple of months ago, I found these sandwich thins. I have been known to eat a lot of egg and chicken salad from one side of these things. And a hearty serving of cream cheese and bacon and im in heaven. But I never really considered them low carb fare.

for one roll:

100 cal
1g fat
21 carb
5 fiber
16 g net carbs
5g protein-wow, that tells me theyre actually using the WHOLE grain. what a concept.

so i could get away with half a roll, theyre pretty sturdy. so 8 g fiber for breakfast, plus whatever veggie ive added to the eggy mixture this week.

what do YOU guys think about them? workable, usable, or a slippery slope?

Well...not knowing what the exact ingredients are, I can't give you an opinion. Why don't you post the ingredients.

Geez, its like pulling teeth, I cant FIND an ingredient list online, and its been a coupla months since I tossed the original package. the ones I have are orowheat, but I cant find them, here is the "arnolds" version. close enough? When I was really athletic, I ate orowheat a lot, seriously crunchy bread. I mean, they would tuck literally, whole seeds in this bread, I would have to floss afterwards. They seemed really into the true "whole grain" deal. I guess for normal humans, this is the best option. This product seems just as chunky/crunchy.

Kinda makes me wonder, since they dont reveal the whole ingredients list. I was kind of basing everything on net carbs vs usefulness.

I was just curious what the LC community thought about it, at large. Seems the attitudes towards dreamfields has certainly shifted.

Arnolds:
Whole wheat flour, unbleached enriched wheat flour [flour, malted barley flour, reduced iron, niacin, thiamin mononitrate (Vitamin B1), riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Folic Acid], water, cellulose fiber, yeast, polydextrose, wheat gluten, sugar, cracked wheat, rye, salt, ground corn, canola oil, preservatives (calcium propionate, sorbic acid), grain vinegar, guar gum, cultured wheat flour, brown rice, oats, monoglycerides, soybeans, triticale, barley, flaxseed, millet, citric acid, sodium stearoyl lactylate, sucralose, soy lecithin

Sorry, it just looks like bread to me. You wouldn't find it in my shopping cart.

Yes, way too many highly processed grains for me...I wouldn't buy it either.
Sorry!

Have you tried the Atkins revolution roll recipe or Cleochatra's adaptation, the oopsie roll?

I make mine using mayonnaise instead of the original cream cheese (to save my cheese allowance for other things) and have found that if I cook a third of the recipe in the microwave as one large bun instead of ovenbaking them they turn out fairly "bready". this suggestion was from a member at a different support board, not my own invention.

I also sometimes spread the "batter" out to make round slices of it that work well for sandwiches

hi, ellen. the egg muffins basically ARE the oopsie rolls. aThey would be fine to eat with a fork, but unfortunately, they usually get eaten in the car on our way downtown. hmm.

I wouldn't buy them either. Just flatter bread.

I just eat such things in old-fashioned wax paper. Like what they wrap around messy street food like gyros.

or you can google "primal sandwich replace" and there are articles out there.

I wasn't going to do this but decided to share what I do.

I do eat this Ezekiel bread from this company:

I get it at my local health food store and allow 1 slice every couple of days. Sometimes it is my 1 serving of starch for the day and thats OK with me.



I'm sue that it is sold in Northern Calif.
