I was wondering if the low carb Subway wraps are OK to have? Probably on Phase 2 but not 1, right?

Thanks

Here's the scoop:










Will Subway Sink Your Diet?







(Published 1/29/04) Whenever you go out to eat, be sure to apply the principles of The South Beach Diet to your food choices. Subway is an acceptable choice for people on the go as long as you stick to salads or a protein source with vegetables. You can choose from the following:



  • Ham
  • Roast Beef
  • Sliced Turkey Breast
  • Roasted Chicken Breast
  • Tuna Salad
  • Subway Seafood & Crab Salad

Then, feel free to add one or all of the following ingredients:

  • Vinegar
  • Mustard
  • Mayonnaise
  • Olive Oil Blend
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Onions
  • Cucumbers
  • Jalapeno Peppers
  • Banana Peppers

Subway recently started selling a line of Atkins-friendly wraps. If you're wondering how these might fit into The South Beach Diet plan, here's a rundown. The actual "wrap" that surrounds the sandwich fillings is South Beach Diet-friendly. However, be sure to read the ingredient list for the fillings themselves before indulging. Check the amount of saturated fat to be sure you don't overdo it. Remember that The South Beach Diet is not a low-carb diet—The South Beach Diet focuses on selecting the right carbs and the right fats.

The wrap bread is fine, just watch the ingredients you choose. They add things like cheese, bacon and ranch dressing to some of their sandwiches, and those aren't good choices for anyone trying to lose weight :)
