Wholemeal pitta's or Granary bread? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hi guys/gals,

I'm getting fed up of eating cold chicken and jacket pot twice a day at work. So.......I'm wondering if either wholemeal pitta's or granary bread will do instead of the pot?

Also, any good spices to add on the chicken so that it tastes good. I've tried some Tesco BBQ stuff and it made me gipp mega-bad!!!

Cheers folks

wholemeal pittas would be fine, it good to change it up every now and then. Im not 100% but i think granary bread is full of **** (sugars?) stick to wholemeal..

also try sweet potato instead of normal ones.

Do you have a microwave at work? I just use old chinese takeaway cartons with rice and chicken - microwave for 2 mins and you're done. Although from your cold chicken - guess you dont?

Most bread has a lot of sugar in it. I think one sandwich a day should be ok. Try and get granary or wholemeal. Tesco do a good range. Some is low GI and other medium. Try the linseed bread which is low or oatmeal batch which is meduim. No more than 2 slices per day though IMO. I like pittas - not sure what really goes into them though so I can't really adivse on that. Wholemeal as a rule of thumb should be fine. Maybe try wholemeal tortillas as well. Nice and easy to role up with a bed of shredded spinach, chicken and some red peppers.

As for your chicken - try some tikka seasoning from tesco or even just cajun, fajita, chargrilled. Dry seasonings are usually a good way forward. Hey - you could even get Nando's piri piri seasoning which I hear isnt too bad. Nice and hot as well

. I sometimes use a bit of sweet chili sauce but that does have quite a lot of sugar in it :( .
