Atkins Food Tasting Panel
My taste panel tried offerings from McDonald's, Burger King and Subway. The Subway Atkins wraps were the most popular. The 6-inch chicken and bacon Ranch wrap was $5.89, the same size of a Turkey and Bacon Melt wrap was $5.69. Both are advertised to have 11 net carbs. (11 grams)

The Burger King Whopper and Chicken Sandwich, without the buns, were $3.39 and $3.49 respectively, and claim to contain 5 grams of carbs or less. The McDonald's beef and chicken protein platters were $3.99 and $4.69, also with 5 grams of carbs. Prices may vary by region. For more information on these items you can visit the websites of the chains.

We also tried 4 different kinds of low-carb beer, but none of them had any flavour or body that would make us recommend them. Sorry!
