We may be at cross purposes here but....

Low GI Roll 44.9% Carbs so a 87 gram roll contains 39 grams
Low GI Bread 36% Carbs

Yes, we were at cross purposes. I was under the impression we we were discussing low GI rolls although I've never seen them in Lidl. I do see the low GI loaves though.

I had never seen the Low GI Rolls before either, that's why I started the thread.

Actually, the only low GI foods that don't raise my BG too much are also fairly low carb anyway so I am not sure that low GI is much use in itself. That's probably for a different thread and maybe a different forum.

No, apparently there are also some low GI rolls, but I've never seen any and from what has been said on this thread about carb content I wouldn't buy them anyway!
The High Protein rolls are low carb at 9.8%

This seems to happen every time a food comes up and someone asks how many carbs it has. People always differ in how many carbs it actually has

Bluetit, I think the nutrients you quote refer to the original larger size protein rolls? The ones I am buying now are almost half the size, so I wonder how many carbs are in them. 8g per 100g maybe?

9.8% carbs (9.8g carbs per 100g of roll) The 9.8 is a percentage and won't change whether you eat 1 or 6 rolls. You need to weigh one and see, then do the maths!.

Went to Lidl today to get my supply of their High Protein Rolls and noticed they had Low GI Rolls which I haven't seen before. Had one for lunch and unfortunately my BS was too high 2 hours later, pity as it was very tasty and a nice change from the High Protein ones - might try half a roll next time. I can't find any mention of them on the Lidl website let alone the carb content. Anybody tried them or have any information?


Got this from my local Lidl shop yesterday. Had a slice with my dinner, no rise of BG. Had another at 8.30pm same result. Today I had a slice with some soft cheese with my afternoon cuppa. BG before 5.6% two hours later still 5.6%.

The problem with low GI is that the glucose still ends up metabolised and in your system, just not as quickly so the spike is lower....

I prefer the low carb protein rolls for that reason.

Does anyone know where in London Lidl sell these high protein rolls? I tried my local one with no luck today.

I asked them about something else and they were very helpful so hopefully you will find a source of the magic high protein rolls.
