This may be old news, sorry if it is - I searched and didn't find any posts about this product. I had searched here to see if there were any whole wheat hamberger buns that were "legal", but I didn't see any. So I searched LONG and hard because I was really craving a burger (actually - I was craving a In 'n Out burger - "monster style"!)
I found these today and thought they looked like they would be okay. I almost didn't even look at the label because they say " Carb Counting" and "Atkins apporved" and that usually means its got *something* wrong with it LOL!

Do these pass? Are they at least close enough for occasional use?
They are a little dry - needed LOTS of sugar-free ketchup and light mayo - plus since my burger was low-fat ground beef that was dry too!! But I grilled some on onions to put on it and we made sweet potato fries...so with the onions and mayo/ketchup sauce it was ALMOST felt like going to In 'n Out! And it was the very first meal I have made since we started this that didn't get a "ewwww" from my kids!

Thanks Maggie - boys sometimes I almost think that counting calories or something would be easier! My bread I have must be especially "big" - its 1.5 oz per slice; 5 g fiber. So guess techincally it counts as 1.5 servings too. I'd been using the size of one slice of bread as a "guide" for a serving without really studying the numbers. Come to think of it, the tortillas I found that are YUMMY (I didn't like La Tortilla Factory much) are almost 2 oz each - so those would definitely count as 2 servings and I've only been counting them as 1! *sigh* I haven't really moved up to having 3 grains a day (well actually - I guess I HAVE but didn't know it LOL!) I've been afraid to go over 2, but I guess I've been fine with 3!
Anyhow, I think the bun/burgers will just be a once in awhile thing for us so I'm not too worried about it.

MichaelAnn,
The buns are just a once in a while thing for us, too.
