After reading this article I did some more research and found that sprouted grain breads don't spike blood sugar levels and actually trigger fat burning cells. Below is a great alternative to a tasty sandwich! Obviously we aren't going to eliminate white breads and whole grains, but if you can trade out at least one item in your day it's a good start.
Ingredients (under 250 kcal)
Roma Tomato (4 slices)

As a side note...processed deli meats are no good! I finally found a small section at Whole Foods that has sliced meats that I think have potential (7$ /8 slices ugh). Well until I can afford that every week I will use white albacore tuna...yum!
I hate that deli meats are no good! It makes packing lunch when I can'r run home such a task. why can't they just slice a turkey breast nice and thin and skip the processing?? My roommates don't appreciate out house always smelling like tuna. Ha!
