Subways Egg White and cheese muffin melt...DELISH and the perfect portion size for my sleeve. Keeps me full till lunch, and at just over 2 bucks I couldn't make it myself at home for the price. Below is the nutrition info. I only eat the bottom of the muffin and add spinach and Tomato. I ask for light cheese. Per subway I am subtracting 40 calories and adding 1 to 2 grams of protein with the spinach. Not sure how many carbs I am getting rid of the top bread but one would guess my total is 12ish?

120 cal

16-17g protein

Yes please

That's a great idea. I also want to add that right now the cold cut combo at Subway is $2 for the 6 inch. I have them cut it in half and I get 2 lunches. I couldn't buy the lunch meat and make it at home for that price!

That does look good! I looked up carbs in English Muffins it is 25 grams.

All I can say is any meal that has more carbs than Protein should be predominantly low glycemic carbs. This isn't.

By only eating half the English muffin, I am not eating all of the listed carbs. Also, for the calorie count, Protein count, satisfying factor and bang for my buck, this IS it for me. As healthy as I am going to get for food grabbed on the go anyway. If I ate them for Breakfast, lunch AND dinner I would still be under the 40 carbs my doctor wants me to get a day, under for calories and pretty close to my protein too. I would never do such a thing because salt is high but I guess some on these forums are saints and only eat chicken. breast. all. day. long. No thanks!

OMG that looks SOOOOO TASTY! With my current stomach I could eat four of those. No joke- FOUR. Can't wait for my sleeve!

Well I was going to agree with everything you said but then I read that snide little comment at the end. Was that for me?

[hm734 228]

No, it was not directed to you at all. Truthfully, I do not follow you close enough to know what you eat. In general though there are 3 different types on these forums.

1. Very strict "dieters" that stick 100% to their surgeons direction and plan to forever (which oddly varies greatly) but for the strictest, leaves them munching on chicken and Protein shakes day in and day out.

2. Those like myself that am not on a diet. I am mindful of what I eat, get my Protein and Water, keep my carbs and calories in check, exercise and live a healthy lifestyle but still live a little. You can bet your ass that i have had a few bites (really only a few, not excessively) of the bad stuff since my sleeve. Moderation is the key for my sanity!

3. Those who eat whatever, whenever - only less because it won't fit like it used to.

I will never be number 1 or 3. I do not have enough mental strength for 1 and too much for 3.

Ya know what I mean?

[Butterthebean 8,146]

I would like to think I'm number 1 but yesterday I had a small bite of fudge at Cabelas.

Hmm.. sadly i think i go back and forth between 2 and 3, but I'm over 500, pounds and have lost 132 since June. My bmr is higher than most, so i should hopefully keep the trend going.. plus I'm probably only person in forum who would be happy weighing 350, ...i really need to start adding weight training though...i haven't done hardly any exercise except for more walking since surgery, since surgery i started school, work full time and we now have 2 foster Children which keep me busy, but lifting and playing with them may help with muscle growth he he
