Low Carb Bread After a Workout.


Even if your typical menu choices limit carbs and you prefer to reach for low carb bread, plain vegetables and fruit or cottage cheese to do that, after a strenuous workout carbs are not only allowed, they are beneficial.


If you have sweet tooth, peanut butter is a great item to munch on. Either one of these choices will satisfy both your sweet tooth and your need for post-workout nutrition.

For those looking for savory flavors after exercising, turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, with some avocado and lettuce, pita bread with cheese and crackers are quick and satisfying. And if you have some time and get home quickly after finishing your exercise, a veggie loaded omelet, a stir fry with some chicken for lean protein or pancakes and eggs without the butter and syrup but with a serving of fresh fruit on the side will take care of all your needs post-workout.

Tips For Cooking Low Carb Bread.


Here's some tips you can use to make your Low Carb Bread cooking easier and tastier:


Make low carb bread crumbs for breaded foods.  While you may be able to buy low carb bread crumbs, you can also make them by using low carb bread.  Simply toast the low carb bread in the oven on a cookie sheet.  Use soy flour or bake mix.  When you need to use flour for baking or coating breaded foods, substitute soy flour or a bake mix like Atkins bake mix.  Use low carb chocolate bars for cookies and muffins. Now that you've converted your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe using soy flour, you don't want to put in those high carb chocolate chips.  Chop up a low carb chocolate bar into small pieces and use that instead.


Use Splenda instead of sugar.  Make great smoothies with low carb yogurt.  Ok, well it's not technically cooking, but if you love smoothies you can make them with low carb yogurt and fruit.  Check my site below for a list of low carb fruits.  For a great low carb pasta substitute use spaghetti squash.  We all know that low carb pasta tastes horrible so why not try a food that is low in carbs and natural too.  Trust me, it taste a lot better than the Low Carb Bread pasta and has about 7 grams carbs per 1 cup serving.
