Arby's Update

  • I had noticed that everytime I ate an Arby's low carb wrap I would stall. Looking the facts up on their website confused me. I mean how can this big ole wrap only have 1g in it when even la tortilla has 3g (and that is the lowest I have personally found)
    So I wrote them inquiring about the nutrition values for just the wrap alone, plain with nothing inside it.. And this is what they had to say..

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Arby's currently carries two separate Low Carbys™ menu lines - only two of which are wraps:
    Market Fresh Low Carbys Roast Turkey Ranch n' Bacon
    Market Fresh Low Carbys Ultimate BLT

    The Low Carbys™ line is without bread or wrap of any type, served in a bowl with leaf lettuce. (See "Arby's® Low Carbys™ LTO (Limited Time Only) Items" on www.arbys.com).

    Some restaurants owners are offering to put these items in the wrap, or honoring customer requests to do so. Arby's, Inc. does not have prepared nutritional information for these items as they are outside of the parameters set forth in the Standard Operating Procedures for the product.

    However the individual wrap nutrition values can be found below and you can add these values if you have any "Low Carbys" meal placed in a wrap.

    I was under the impression that the low carby's were in the wraps and not in a bowl.. needless to say I was quite disappointed.
  • Interesting
  • Oh yeah what they started with was basically whatever is on a markey fresh sandwhich they stuck it in a bowl without the bread, that was the low carbys they just recently got the wrap part. I always said I could throw sandwhich fixin's in a bowl for cheaper than 5 bucks!! Arbys was disappointing for sure! Stick with Subway!
  • Good thing we don't have an Arby's in my town. We do have a subway (and Mcdonalds, Little Caesars, Burger King and a few other small town pizza joints), but I don't go to those places much. I think I've gone to subway once since joining Atkins. I'm really proud of myself
  • I really try to stay away from fast food joints, just cause I don't trust em.
    I love Arby's, their jalapeno poppers are to die for with the bronco berry sauce, yum.
  • Subway is pretty safe, especially that baby spinach and chicken salad with the Atkins honey mustard dressing OMG soooooo good!
  • It's all in the labeling and you have to read them. Example, went to market yesterday and needed Lipton onion soup in the box for a roast. Next to it they had the NEW LOW CARB! The stuff we've seen for years has 4g and costs $1.69, the new stuff has 3g and costs $2.49. Come on, lable it LC, put NEW on the label and jack up the price? For 1 carb differance, I'm not paying the price differance. Noticing this with lots of stuff in the markets. Makes me continue to make evrything from sratch.
  • Not that good, though. What do you think Atkins uses to make that stuff sweet?

    I do love the subway wraps. I make my own and add lots of veggies. Quiznos is divine. Blimpies is yummy. I have yet to try big town hero. Then there's the pizza! Godfather's is good, Papa Murphy's is better, Winco rules!
  • I've seen the low carb pizza ads for Papa Murphy's and wondered. How many carbs are in a slice? How close is the taste to the real thing? Inquiring minds...
  • I'm not sure on the carb count. I've seen 11 and I've seen 8.

    You cook it a little differently than their normal pizzas, and it's not as filling, but it's good! I do the thin crust and the cowboy pizza toppings.
  • Hmmm, sounds really good. I just bought some low carb wraps for dinner tonight - the little mission ones. My mouth is already watering.
