Arnold Sandwich Thins, Thomas’ Bagel Thins, and Vitalicious Muffin Tops

Carb lovers unite with unanimous delight over the popularity of smaller portion carb treats. These three diet de-lites are sure to tickle your carb tooth, fill up that belly, and make you forget that they’re only 100 calories each.

1.      Arnold Sandwich Thins: The truth is, if you’re going to just have a plain turkey sandwich (or tuna, or whatever), then two slices of most other breads won’t bring you too much higher than 100 calories. What these round, flat, bun-like slices are good for, are burgers—hamburgers, chicken patties, salmon croquets, or veggie burgers. They’re shaped in a way that the top and bottom slices create a bun-like enclosure around your burger and you get all of the convenience and flavor of a bun, without all the extra, unnecessary breadiness of a bun. They are, of course, also tasty for regular pb&j. The Thins contain 100 calories, 1 gram of fat, 5 grams of dietary fiber, and 4 grams of protein.

2.      Thomas’ Bagel Thins: You can say the same thing about these Bagel Thins as you can about shaving down the extra breadiness of a hamburger bun. You can have your lox and cream cheese on a bagel thin and get all the satisfaction of having some shmear on bread without loading your belly down with a 240 calorie bagel. The Bagel Thins contain 110 calories each, 1 gram of fat, 5 grams of dietary fiber, and 6 grams of protein.

3.      Vitalicious Muffin Tops: Here’s your perfect on-the-go dessert, snack you leave in your purse, lunchtime surprise for your kid, and nosh for your very hungry one-year-old. They come in tons of flavors—banana nut, golden corn, chocolate fig, raisin bran, cran-bran, etc.—and can be eaten hot, cold, or anywhere in between. You can even spread peanut butter, cream cheese, or jam for a more substantial snack. And best of all, they’re each only 100 calories and offer a hefty serving of vitamins, minerals, iron, and fiber.
