I have found what I think in a great substitute for bread crumbs. I love to have a little coating on my tilapia, chicken palliard and baked cheese sticks, and I stumbled onto this at the grocery one day...wheat germ!! It is has more nutritional value than bread crumbs and adds a great nutty flavor. You can add any seasonings to it just like you would to bread crumbs. Here is the comparison for 1/4 cup of each:
Wheat Germ: 100 cal, fat 2 gms, net carbs 8, Protein 6 gms
Bread Crumbs: 120 cal, fat 3 gms, net carbs 19, protein 4 gms
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am having a great time finding ways to cook really great tasting food since being sleeved. I have never eaten so well and so healthy. I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!
