My family loves Culver’s (who doesn’t love great burgers and cheese curds?) but I get bored with getting a grilled chicken sandwich or eating a gluten bun burger.

*Quick FYI for new followers- I have recently started a journey of finding out what my food triggers/allergies are. It’s possible that I have an autoimmune issue, but I am eating healthier and slowly adding things back into my diet in small portions to see what I can pinpoint. I’m also using it as a good excuse to lose the lbs I packed on the last year with my sluggish thyroid and perimenopause. *

Anyway, I ordered the Rueben and decided I’d take the bread off, but it’s only 660 calories and HUGE! So I ate half of it (with the bread) and half of my coleslaw last night, and I’m having the other half for lunch.

Not only is it just 393 calories, but it’s 23g of protein. That’s not bad for a half sandwich and a few bites of slaw. My app turned orange which means it’s not balanced but it flagged it as too low in calories. That’s problem that’s good to have when you have higher protein AND It’s the best Rueben I’ve ever had!
