Use wholegrain bread. Try to avoid Butter, Margerine and Cheese. If you HAVE to eat those thing use the low fat stuff.
is turkey breast a lean meat?
only if its whole sliced turkey breast...not 'deli style' which is usually processed turkey 'loaf' (which gives you nice uniformly sized slices of meat, tons of sodium, preservatives, and gelatin fillers...not the best stuff).
and on a cut, no, stay off the bread as much as possible. even whole grain bread is STILL processed carbs.
Whole grain means WHOLE grain...oatmeal, barley, rice....not ground into a powder, bleached, enriched, etc.
especially on a cut.
Avoid mayonaisse (100% fat) though
WHY? fat doesn't make you fat....excess calories make you fat, and its arguable that excess calories from carbs are the most easily stored as fat.
I purposely take fish oil caps, nuts and natty PB every day to make sure I'm getting at least 70g of fat a day in my diet.
Some people tolerate bread very well. others don't.
Karky, even if you make your own bread, it may be better than store bought stuff, but still not an equivalent substitute for actual whole grains. when doing this, try to get the least processed, non-enriched flour, something like a stone ground wheat, which will be coarser and less refined than the traditional flour we're used to. add wheat germ, slightly ground flaxseed, and stuff like that to beef up the nutrition in homemade bread.
Yes, I'm a bit of a food nazi, and I"m ok with that.
