Never again. I've officially learned my lesson, and do now realize that it is these sandwich thins that seem to be spiking me.

Over 70 points...for a small amount like that? Wow, Jeremy, that bread can be deadly. I guess I'd better approach with caution (I put them in the freezer after your first post about it.)

If I'm gonna risk a spike like that, it had better be something I can't live without...and there isn't much that qualifies for that category.

BUT, as an aside, I sometimes eat pita bread sandwiches (in a pinch on the road) from DeAngelo's, but make sure that I have a lot of steak or turkey in proportion to the veggies and bread...and mayo...and that ratio seems to smooth out what might have been an enormous spike otherwise. I seldom jump more than 35 points or so as a result (about 145). I seldom do it, but it's been pretty consistent. A "pokket" there is usually a small. I buy a medium sub for the extra ounces of protein, and have them put it in a pokket instead.

Perhaps you need to balance out the carb with more protein and fat? A double cheeseburger (no catsup)?
I guess I really wanted that Arnold's sandwich thin bread to not be the BoogeyMan...

It's like being a walking chemistry experiment; isn't it?
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
