Topic: RE: Tuna noodle casserole

I use Fiber Gourmet noodles- they are not low car, but lower carb comparatively speaking. A little extra protein also. I was always Ok with this during my wls surgery period once in a while, and I would ensure I would balance the carbs out for the day. I also didn't go crazy with the noodles.

Topic: RE: Tuna noodle casserole

Have you looked into gluetin free noodles?   They  typically are made with quinoa (which has protein in them) and hey're not bad.   Just be careful not to over cook them.   Also I would recommend getting a veggie spirilizer,  it is useful in making veggie noodles and they are really tasty!  If your husband is wrinkling his nose try making half of your recipe with regular noodles and the other half to fill your needs.
