Carr's Melts - Cheese 2.6g carbs per biscuit

Carr's Table Water biscuits 2.5g carbs per biscuit

Tesco's do their own Brand of this type of biscuit (wholewheat and multi seed) for 3gr carbs per biscuit.

I've added LivLife bread to original post top of page 1 and also the Carr's Melts.

Bread options, I tried to get Burgen Bread in tesco today or the Hovis low carb bread, but they didn't have any in Tesco, but they did have Weight Watchers Warburtons malted Danish which is low carb, its not filling as you can guess but it still made me a ham, lettuce and tomato sandwich for lunch.

Just thought I would list here the bread options I know of that are low carb, perhaps others can add if they know of others, or low carb crackers maybe?

WW Small Malted Danish 9.0 Carbs - 51 kcal per slice - Protein low and calcium not mentioned

Per Cracker
- Jacobs Cream Crackers Carb 5.3 - Cals 35 (good iron, magnesium, calcium magnesium B6)
- Ryvita Crispbread dark Carbs 6.7 - Cals 34 (good magnesium, zinc and iron per cracker)

Carr's Melts - Cheese 2.6g carbs per biscuit
Carr's Table Water biscuits 2.5g carbs per biscuit

Tesco's do their own Brand of this type of biscuit (wholewheat and multi seed) for 3gr carbs per biscuit.


I would say for nutritional value and size of one slice
Burgen Soya & Linseed Medium Sliced Bread 400g
is the best option - Sainsbury's 🙂

LivLife bread slice although smaller with only 3.8g carbs per slice is a good option (you could always have up to 3 slices of that to 1 slice of Burgen 😛

Most already know Burgen but for those who can't find Burgen above are the other options in Bread 🙂

For weight loss I would say Warburtons (as above) unless you only want a cracker now and then.

Burgen is available in larger Asda’s and some Co-ops as well as Sainsbury’s. In fact it’s £1.25 there as opposed to £1.50 in Sainsbury’s.

Thanks Browser, there is not an Asda or Co-op near me, but I did get a loaf in Sainsbury's and I saw on line Iceland may have it also but not tried in their yet. I have found other options also some with even lower carbs 🙂 the livlife load for instance, but I think the Burgen bread flavour is good 🙂

I haven’t eaten bread in any form for over three weeks because I have been low carb, same applies to pasta potatoes etc.

This morning I remembered I had Hovis low carb loaf in the freezer so i had a slice toasted with my boiled egg and loved it. Was going to have 2 slices until I read online (not on the wrapper) that each slice was 9.8g of which sugars was 1.3g.

Surely, this is high? I bow to collective experiences!

Yes one slice is a good option unless you have the livlife loaf and you could have 2 of that only 3.5g carbs per slice. For me though I think the Burgen bread is the tastiest, most filling and nutritious - 1 slice is 11g of carb. Normal bread can be 24g carb per slice. I would say up to 15g of carbs each meal is nothing really, but monitor the blood glucose before and 2 hours after to see if your body likes it re blood glucose.

My BG has reduced and I've lost weight on the low carb, with the low carb bread when I fancy it. Although looking at your HbA1c, it doesn't look like you need no carb to affect the already great HbA1c if you are same as between Jun 2017 /2018. Are experiencing a lot of Hypos being so low?

 

[Annette&Bert]

I so enjoyed my breakfast this morning. I also have a Burgen in the freezer, i keep them in the freezer because i forget it’s there and if I didn’t I’d eat the whole loaf

Since I started low carb I can’t believe how good I feel and also my BG is down to single figures never thought I would see it.

 

[Jodee]

Congratulations Annette, my BG also down into single figures, I usually keep my breading in the freezer too 🙂

^^ il pollo alla milanese... mah...
Never, ever ask for it in Milan. If you really really need to eat fried things in Milan ask a Costoletta alla Milanese or an Orecchia di Elefante...

Anyway I am not sure if breaded and deep-fried meat is ok to remain low-carb.

TO return in topic, I have seen that if I buy high quality wholegrain bread from a bakery and stay on 150g/day, I don't have problems on BG levels.

Hi Nancy, I don't do anything breaded and cooked like that but for those who do they may like a couple of small pieces for a treat. The flour option is a good alternative.

 

[Jodee]

@MikeTurin I couldn’t live in Milan- all of the food! I stayed in Aosta valley on holiday & had amazing risotto; pizza; Milanese & everything. But only for a week and back on lower carb once back home
