i so want a cheese and pickle roll haha, the lowest carb I've found is Heinz Ploughman's Pickle which comes in at 3.4g carbs per 15g portion but I've not bought any of it yet, I am so tempted though :( x
 
I only like Branston, with the small chunks, I spread it very thin lol!
 
The pickles are probably ok as they'll be very small in quantity, but the bread on a toasty is carb rich unless you go for something like the Lidl high protein rolls.
 
Kaylz, Go ahead and have some cheese and pickle on a lower carb bread or Lidle roll
I love cheese and pickle too and prefer Branson with the small chunks.
I don't weigh the amount of pickle I have as I spread it thinly.

It's not unlike the 'fine' Branston, Kaylz.

It's only high carb if you eat half a jar at a time - in which case it would be a pickle sandwich, with a touch of cheese ! LOL
 
Why is pickle so carby? Because sugar is a preservative, as in jam. That's why lower sugar jams need to be kept in fridge. It's all about portion size - most people don't eat large amounts of pickle, so a little of what you fancy is fine.
 
Hmmm do I go for 1 slice or 2 slices cheese haha x
 
Hope the pickle does not effect you too much Kaylz. I used to love cheese and pickle sandwiches, you've put it my head to try it again🙂
