Found Awesome ''High Protein'' Pita Bread

[DavidVincent]

Hey Everyone, so I just wanted to share this pita bread I found at my local grocery store (up here in Canada). Here it is:

Haddad Bakery High Protein Pita Bread

For 1/2 Pita (28g)

calories - 50
Fat - 1g
saturated - 0.1g
cholesterol - 0g
Sodium - 150mg
Carbs - 8g
Fiber - 5g
sugars - 0g
Protein - 5g

ingredients: water, Bran, Wheat Dry, Wheat, Gluten, Vital, Whetpro 75, 250207 Special whole wheat flour (bagged) cc, Fiber, Oat, 300-58, Yeast, Active, Dry, Oil, Canola, No Shrink, Salt, Calcium Propionate.

Those are the nutrition values and ingredients. The color of the bread is dark, resembling whole wheat. Is this stuff a good choice? is it truly whole wheat or is there any ingredients in there that I should stray away from? thanks all.

So any thoughts???

Eat a regular pita.
Add a protein source (beef, fish, lamb, etc)
????
Profit?

This. I very much prefer to save the cost and buy a meat source for protein/taste.

Kabob in a pita > protein pita

Found it at Nofrills in london ontario. The bakery is in Toronto though (haddad bakery). If you can't find it maybe give them a call and ask if they supply to any grocery stores in your area. I know the Mr. Pita (pita Gourmet brand) bread that we can find almost anywhere here in canada also has a protein pita similar but the haddad one has more protein, less carbs, less calories, more fiber and less sodium. Win on all levels.

Cost is the same as my regular pita. But my regular pita has more calories, more carbs and less fiber. Now I have the benefit of having less calories and carbs, more fiber and protein while already adding protein to it (I had already planned on adding chicken breast or greek yogurt or both to this). This just ups my protein intake and lessens my net impact carbs intake.

Yea but Kabob in high fiber protein pita > regular pita.

And cost is about the same.

It's a decent size... and 50 cal is for 1/2 the pita. the whole thing is 100 cal... but 10g of protein and only 6 net carbs (16g carbs - 10g fiber). Obviously I opt for eating the whole pita every time because half a pita isn't a ''serving'' for me. I need more to fill me up.

nomnomnom indeed. Lately been craving greek food (not sure why, i'm portuguese/chilean). I made a sort of Chicken Gyros with this. Threw in some diced tomato, red onion, iceberg lettuce, slice of ff cheese (normally gyros don't have cheese but I love cheese), sliced grilled chicken breast and topped it off with about 3 dollops of Greek yogurt (substitutes for the tzatziki sauce quite well with a bit of dill and lemon juice). My favorite pre-workout meal since... ever.

i buy these italian wraps for 3 dollars and they have 9 grams of protein and 90 calories.
Add 8 or so oz of meat and thats like 60 grams of protein.

Yeah man, practically the same, mine is 100 cal but 10g protein. After that gyros I'm thinking of trying a pita pizza. use some ff cheese, hot salsa (to replace the tomato sauce cause that's all I have in my fridge right now), diced onion and tomato, spinach, and some grilled chicken breast... maybe some diced ham...topped off with some dry pressed/curd cottage cheese (to give it a feta cheese taste/feel). My Pre-workout meals have never been so delicious.

yeah i made a pizza with mine the other day with some pepperoni and bacon. it was soo good and pretty easy to fit in my macros.
its pretty hard to cut it into slices though i ended up folding it in half and eating it like that. nomnom

Panzarotti for the win.

I eat so much... I wish I could be able to fit pepperoni and bacon into my macros... But then I'd get too hungry later at night.

haha, just picked up some of these today. Went to Superstore where I normally do not shop and found them!
Came home, Googled it, and discovered this thread.

Currently warming up oven as I'm making pizza with them! =]

Nutritional facts are almost too good to be true.

Never had pita bread. How is it?

[PerpetualMotion]

Interesting. I've never examined the pita breads at No Frills all that closely. I'll have to check it out next time I'm there.

[b34tBoX]

Never had pita bread. How is it?

It's good, very versatile; can wrap it or stuff it, or use it like a flat bread.

Tomorrow I'm going to stuff it with ground chicken that I picked up from No Frills during their last sale, stocked up on that $hit!

Sounds kind of like Joseph's pita, which can be found at Walmart here in the 'States.
I live off this stuff, regardless if I'm dieting or not. It's a really solid product.

[joebrosef]

99% chance its dry as fuark.

ill stick to my boiled chicken breast THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[b34tBoX]

Nope. It's just just as moist as any other kind of pita bread available.

ill stick to my boiled chicken breast THANK YOU VERY MUCH

That's right, you stick with what you think works.
