Personally, I do fine eating plain lean burgers or rolling up some turkey or ham slices with cheese and eating that way. However, the significant other is not so tolerant… Are there breads out there that are reasonable for like a turkey sandwich or a burger but with decent taste? Much as I’d like to just say “deal with it”, telling a pregnant wife what’s wrong with her diet has the potential to cause problems…and damage to my junk.
Thanks for the help!
ezekiel bread. complete protein. high fiber. awesome taste
i eat WW bread. nothing fancy.
If you’re trying to cut then maybe fret over it, but otherwise, nothing wrong with good old fashion whole wheat bread.
Word on the Ezekiel bread. Gluten free, high fiber, and not full of the crap that normally accompanies a regular loaf of WW bread.
White bread baby! O YEA!

Tell her to stop being such a drama queen (aka slave to her estrogen) and deal with it. Tell me how that goes !
I don’t think a pregnant woman should worry about being on a low-carb diet.
If she wants bread, get her some.
If she was eating healthy before getting pregnant I don’t think the doctor is going to tell her that now is the time to radically change her diet.
my favorite cheat food is toasted extra sourdough bread with way too much butter
If she wants to try a healthier bread, Ezekial bread is a good one to go with.
Another vote for Ezekiel by Food for Life.

That’s not so much a cheat food as a “just give up and quit” food.
Nowadays you can get Ezekial bread in all sorts of forms, from wraps to hotdog buns to regular loaves. I discovered the loaves seem to be softer if you don’t freeze them; just keep them refrigerated.

HEY!!! it’s not a quit food! you are soooo harsh
Well, I’ve got to add another one for Ezekiel 4:9 bread–sprouted bread, no grains, high in fiber, enzymes, Vit. & min., and low glycemic! There cereals are great too; perhaps the perfect carbs.
Crowbar
+1 on the Ezekiel bread. Toast it up for a sandwich and she’ll be happy. My wife is picky about bread and has given Ezekiel bread her stamp of approval.

What are you talking about, it IS a grain. The ingredients are wheat, barley, millet, lentils, soybeans and spelt.

Harsh? Maybe. So tell me, how are those cheat foods working for you?
I agree it sounds like a damn good treat. My mom used to make homemade bread and we’d slather it with margarine and eat it while it was still hot, so I love bread. I just know that right now I can’t have it.
And combining fats with high glycemic carbs? What would Lonnie Lowery say? Or John Berardi for that matter?

She is talking about a cheat meal which, by definition, is cheating against the parameters of her normal diet. Nothing wrong with some toast and butter once a week. Even throw some strawberry jam on top.

It is also an easy cheat to measure. I don’t buy a whole pizza, I don’t have a bunch of chinese food leftovers.
and dangit, like MODOK says, durn good, except I put on my mom’s homemade pomegranate jelly.

I always find if i slam a protein shake with something like that it doesnt feel like a cheat meal as much lol, pomegranate jelly sounds sexually tasty i love poms.
Best bread ever and doesn’t have to be refrigerated. 4-5 net carbs per slice.
