Think you can't enjoy Subway on this diet?!?  I didn't.  But I checked out their nutritional info just for fun and discovered that it can fit into this way of eating.  You just have to be very careful about what you're choosing.  The flatbread sandwich that I bought for myself tonight came out as 3g sugar and 40g carbohydrates.  However, I did have to tweak it to get it down a couple of carbs so it wouldn't go over the 2 carb servings and to cut back a tiny amount of the sugars. Originally I was going to get tomato and red onion on it also.  That would have cost a couple more sugars and one more carb serving.  As you notice I just squeezed in to the 2 servings slot.

LOOK UP YOUR SUB HERE 
You're welcome, Subway.


Once you click on that link, just choose a sandwich.  At the bottom of that sandwich's nutritional info you will see a button that says "Calculate Yours".  Click on that and you can change your bread type and your meat/cheese/veggies/condiments.  I noticed that the flatbread, Italian and the Monterey Cheddar breads have the lowest carbs.  Of course, there's also the Fresh Fit Kids sandwiches to consider, too.  But I wanted BIGGER!  Oh, and somewhere on there I saw that they'll have a 6" for just $2 for the month of December, but don't know any other details.  Keep your eyes peeled.  Good for you, tasty and affordable?  Awesome!

Day 76, 77 & Tuna Sandwich Recipe!

Grr.  Evidently I am PMS'ing.  I've been hungry, hungry, hungry.  I want fruit like mad!  And chocolate!  I'm annoyed with myself because I ate that piece of Lindt chocolate with reckless abandon.  It's a bit early yet, but thought I'd post now to head off any later snacking.  (Note to self: Didn't work.  Son made popcorn and I couldn't stop myself...)

Tempting Tuna Sandwich

pg175 of The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise
2 (6oz) cans albacore tuna
4 Tbsp mayo
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp Heinz Dill Relish
2 tsp onion powder
S&P to taste
8 slices Ezekial
4 slices cheese of your choice
2 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1c spinach


Thoroughly combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl.  Lay out 2 slices of bread per sandwich.  Build sandwiches by spreading the tuna mixture over the bottom slice of bread, then layering with cheese, sliced egg, spinach, and the top slice of bread.  Serve.  


*Made as directed, this has an s/c value of 1/2 according to the book.  I didn't use onion powder (had none) and I mistakenly gave everyone an entire egg to slice on to their sandwich.  But come on!  If you look at the picture in the book, there's no way that someone would get that many slices off of half an egg.

Breakfast> 1 fried egg, 4 pork sausage links, peppermint mocha coffee (s/c=2/0)
Snacks> shelled peanuts, popcorn, spearmint tea (s/c=1/2)
Lunch> 1c creamy wild rice soup, cottage cheese with bite size peach slice (s/c=5/1) 
Supper> Tempting Tuna Sandwich, cottage cheese, half slice pineapple ring (s/c=4/2)
Total s/c for today - 12/5
