Open face sandwhich

We all love our Subway and Quizno sandwiches ... but! with two slices of bread comes too many carbs. For those who are trying to lose weight sandwiches, and pounds of bread can slow the process. There are two techniques I like to use when faced with burgers, and sandwiches.

#1 Scooping- This is just simply "scooping" out the bulk of the bun, so it makes more of a bowl shape. This is especially great when at a restaurant, because the buns are often soaked in butter, or oil. By taking out the under surface of the bun you take out any unnecessary carbs and fat. This can also be used for bulky subs, english muffins, or bagels.

#2 Open faced- Basically a sandwich minus a slice of bread. I know this isn't rocket science, but a lot of people don't do this. I just put the meat or heavier portions on top rather than the greens. This method is best when making your own sandwiches at home, but obviously you can to this for any two bread meal.

Here is an example of how I made a delicious open faced sandwich.

Ingredients:
Raisin honey sprouted bread-1 slice
Arizona heat mustard- 1 tsp
Parmesan cheese- 1 tbsp
Spinach
Deli meat- chicken (not healthy but...it's what I had)

Directions: I think this should be self explanatory
